To use the GTK dialogs with OpenOffice on TDE, in your bashrc:
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
The start OO and choose:
Options->OpenOffice.org->General, then uncheck
[ ] Use OpenOffice.org Dialogs
You will then have usable file dialogs in OO. (the same should work in LO)
If we rebuild LO/OO with the TDE patch, do we still need this environment variable? If yes, then if I read the TDE patch correctly, the correct parameter is "tde."
