I did not follow the discussion about LibreOffice. I'm browsing the archives now.
Today I decided to remove OOo 3.2.1 and install LibreOffice 3.3.1. As I was browsing the
package list I noticed a file named kdefilepicker. I thought that perhaps this was a hook
that allowed LibreOffice to use KDialog.
Much to my dismay, I cannot get LibreOffice to pop up ANY kind of file picker dialog box.
When I try to use the File Save As menu option, the program freezes and I have to manually
terminate the program.
This was on a KDE 3.5.10 box. I have not tried LibreOffice on Trinity 3.5.12 or SVN.
I have seen this file picker behavior before in the Opera browser. Opera file picker
dialogs don't work on KDE 3 systems.
I found an online discussion about the LibreOffice problem:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-bugs/2011-February/005205…
Here is my solution:
mv /opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/fps_kde.uno.so
/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/fps_kde.uno.so.bak
Renaming/removing that library forces LibreOffice to use its own dialog boxes.
[rant]Just another example that upstream providers consider KDE 3 dead. Just another
example that most free/libre software developers are adversarial about backwards
compatibility. This is an attitude problem, not technical. :( [/rant]

Just remove the libreoffice-kde (of kdefilepicker) package. The LibreOffice
should use its own dialogs then. Also an option to use own dialogs exists in
the LibreOffice/OpenOffice options.

The sad part is the OOo/LibreOffice file picker dialog boxes are crappy to anyone who has
grown accustomed to KDialog. :(

Agreed. When I have time I will see what can be done about reintegrating
the Trinity file pickers, perhaps as some kind of add-on module.

kde3 still could be suported, but libreoffice must be recompiled for that
with the options
./configure --with-distro=Debian --disable-kde4 --enable-kde --enable-gtk
etc etc
all build or more options are available from
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/How_to_build/Configure_optio…
so lest get read more, currently I could not compile full cos my VIA
P4M800 machine
is not exactly the best option for these tasks.. ramdomly segfaults on gcc
compiling time appears...

There is no need to disable kde4 to enable kde3. Works well with the both
options enabled.
Except the file chooser package which is non-functional.

OOo is ONLY supporting certain distros version of kde3.
Both OOo and LO's kde support work with mandriva 2010 for example.
My niece was using LO until I found them to be to abusive to trust. So

Would contacting the LO team be better? I haven't yet tried, but I'm guessing the
support for KDE4 works. Probably all that is needed in LO is to look for the correct hook
in KDE3/Trinity? Probably a single line of code.
The primary problem with the OOo/LO file pickers is there is no simple way to access the
file system tree. KDialog has my bookmarks built in and I can drill to a location
quickly.

In opera, there was an integer setting that allowed the user to specify which
toolkit to use for file open/save dialog by specifying either '0', '1',
'2',
etc.. I don't know if that stil exists, but it got me thinking about OO and
libre -- is there any setting or switch that can control dialog selection??
I don't know, that's why I'm putting it out to the smart folks here. The
current dialogs without the "quick access" or "folder" window on the
left side
of the file-chooser dialog are completely useless for quickly navigating a
filesystem.
