Hi,

I looked into the section about locales in 
/usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz
The LANG=mylocale *almost* works, e.g. it interferes with gvim menubar 
language if one wants to retain the default language (e.g. English).
However, the following works for me: it retains the menubar's languages but 
still allows openoffice.org to recognize the keyboard locale:

export LC_ALL=C
export LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1

Maybe this detail should be included in the 
/usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz

AFAIAC, this issue is solved and can be closed.


Best regards,
Joao Batista
