Still does not work for me - tried all sorts of combinations.... This is under
kde, setting the locale both from start-up and from a terminal, launching
OO.o in that environment.

Point taken - need to rename the bug to something like "Enabling Hebrew
interface makes content all drop-down lists disappear". One consequence of
this - the one I found first - was that it is impossible to revert the change
once done.

I did look in OO.o bugzilla first (I've reported a number of bugs there) but
didn't find any mention of this problem; similarly the upstream debs (from
hebrew.openoffice.org) don't have the problem, although they come with native
Hebrew and an English language pack add-on. I don't use them as they are not
well debianised and don't have KDE support etc.
