Bug#348780: openoffice.org-gnome: There should be description about howto use gnome/gtk widgets
Package: openoffice.org-gnome
Version: 2.0.0-5
Severity: normal
I have just installed openoffice.org-gnome and after restarting OO it looked
exactly same.
I made a standard check in /usr/share/doc/openofficeorg-gnome/* for some
documentation/READE, but there is nothing here.
So to start OO using this gnome/gtk frontend I have to start some xterm,
do:
~$ export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
and then I could start oowrtier.
I heard that If it started from gnome-menu it will automaticly use gnome/gtk
frontend, but I'm using icewm.
So maybe, a good solution for this would be creating some config file like
/etc/openoffice/config
with line:
desktop=gnome
As far as I remember previous versions of OO had such configuration file, and
this option.
Summary :-P :
1) Add file
/usr/shre/doc/openoffice.org-gnome/README
with some information about OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
2) Create global config for configuring it (managed by debconf will be
perfect).
