Bug#523314: please use system file dialogs by default



Package: openoffice.org-common
Version: 1:3.0.1-9
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
installing openoffice.org-gnome or openoffice.org-kde doesn't switch to
using the desktop environments file dialogs (GTK+ or Qt) by default. One
has to uncheck the option:

	Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org->General->"Use OpenOffice.org Dialogs"

first. I'd be nicer to use the desktop environments file dialogs by
default though, since:

   * the user might have customized them (display dot file by default,
     gtk bookmarks, etc.)
   * the OOO open/close file dialogs don't offer any nice features that
     one could miss
   * it makes the Debian Desktop Experience (tm) more consistent

This change can be achieved by either simply not shipping

OO 3.0:
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.0/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/Office/Common/Common-UseOOoFileDialogs.xcug
OO 3.1:
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/Office/Common/Common-UseOOoFileDialogs.xcug

or by setting UseSystemFileDialog = True in the above file. This doesn't
have any negative effects if neither openoffice.org-gnome nor
openoffice.org-kde are installed - OOO simply switches back to the OOO
dialogs in that case.

Please consider changing the default.
Cheers,
 -- Guido
