Tim,
As with Libre has anyone looked at dialogs for OpenOffice? Apache openoffice 3.4 was just released and it works great:

It is much.., much... more responsive that LO and avoids a couple of nasty formatting bugs that affect line/character spacing in LO. Apache OO does have a nice GTK file browser by default (like the tde browser), but it would be nice to have an integrated browser for AOO as well.
I talked with the Apache folks about TDE integration in OpenOffice. They said if somebody will develop and maintain the patch, they will include it in OpenOffice. My contact was with Ariel Constenla-Haile arielch at apache.org. I don't know if the old kde3 integration would just plug-in for TDE or not and I have no idea how to go about it, but if we can adapt the libreoffice one for openoffice, or something similar, that would be great to have TDE support in both.
For now, if you have the GTK2 libraries installed along with TDE, you can use the GTK file chooser with OpenOffice (dual pane, folders on left, files on right -- quite good).
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)
