What I would try next is seeing if something (an accessibility
setting, perhaps?) in my profile is causing the issue. Close OOo,
rename the .openoffice.org directory, and start OOo again.

Any difference?

I tried that - no difference.

What I meant was, I tried that after receiving your message (thanks for
the suggestion), but it did not make a difference.

Not sure if already mentioned in this thread, but IIRC that option is
only available/visible for users running OOo under KDE/GNOME/XFCE.

I'm running under Xfce.

You can try with another variant: using env. variables (i.e.,
OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome) that I guess it should be defined under "/usr/
bin/soffice script".

You're really something else, Camaleón!  Doing 'export
OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome' and then running OO causes that check box to
finally appear, and leaving it unchecked gives me my good old GTK
dialog box!

Must you do that export *every time*, or just once?

I ask because I used to run GNOME but now run XFCE.


I see that on the Wiki page you noted, only Gnome and Kde are
mentioned.  I've filed a bug against openoffice.org-gtk:
