What plugin if nobody removed KDE3 support from LibreOffice?
This was a starting point; I know the code in 3.2 works because I patched
and tested it myself on a large deployment of Linux. Of course if the
newer versions work then that is good.
There is
no support for KDE3 file picker dialog boxes. No option even
exists in the Options.
I'm using 3.5.10, which is not Trinity, but I'm guessing if the
upstream
RPM from ODF is like this then Trinity likely
gets miffed too.
How do we convince the ODF developers to directly provide KDE3/Trinity
support upstream when they build their official release?

By providing a plugin that is maintained by the official TDE project.
That is on our to-do list, but has not yet been started.
Essentially the following must happen:
1.) Pull the KDE3 picker code (including build script alterations) from
the OpenOffice 3.2 / TDE 3.5.12 builds on QuickBuild.
Why namely from 3.2? It works well in my 3.3.3 as well. 2.) Ensure that they apply to LibreOffice and
produce working binaries
on
TDE 3.5.13 with Qt3.
3.) Convert to TQt (a simple process that I can do in a day or so AFAIK)
and rename all "KDE" strings to "TDE".
4.) Rebuild, test, etc. until everything works properly.
5.) Push the patches into our GIT and notify LibreOffice that we have a
new plugin for them!
Big plans, only why if the current LO builds well with KDE3 support?
