Changing the locale setting doesn't make any difference - my son has 
he_IL.utf8 and OO.o still starts with an English interface. Experimenting - 
other Hebrew locales such as he_IL.iso88598 are no different. Only using 
Tools/Options/Language Settings in the gui changes the interface language.
Anyway, what is wrong with using the gui - it's provided for the purpose? And 
works in the debian packages provided by hebrew.openoffice.org (I don't use 
them as they don't provide other features such as kde integration).

As above - not so for me.

No - it's the SAME problem - you can't change the language settings as ALL the 
drop-down lists in the program became blank, in language settings, 
formatting, etc etc etc - making it almost totally unusable.
