Bug#330186: openoffice.org2: GTK/KDE file dialogs disabled by default
Package: openoffice.org2
Version: 1.9.125+2.0beta2-1
Severity: normal
The default OpenOffice.org file dialog is confusing for the common user
who is used to the file open and save dialogs of the desktop environment
they are using. In my case the users are on GNOME 2.10 and they don't
feel comfortable with OpenOffice.org's file chooser dialogs. They find
it odd that they have to deal with different kinds of file chooser
dialogs in different applications.
I myself find it odd that if I installed openoffice.org2-gnome I must
deal with this file chooser that does not integrate at all with the rest
of my applications. Even Mozilla Firefox now uses GNOME's file chooser
dialog (Deer Park Beta 1).
