I think the GNOMEs of GNOME have done it again. I just
ran across 3 problems:
1) TDE sees all CUPS-printers in the LAN and can print to them. Libreoffice 7 does not.
cups support is technically optional—make sure the packager compiled it in.
2) Libreoffice uses 96dpi, no matter what I do. The
workaround with GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.33 does not work any more.
Beat the people working on GTK3 about the head with a blunt instrument until
they produce something that's usable outside the context of Gnome? (Also,
that "GDK_" looks suspicious—typo?)
It seems to be possible to compile LibreOffice 7 against QT5/KDE5 instead of
GTK3, but that drags in a bunch of KDE5 libs. I'm not sure about compiling
against just QT5, or trying to turn off both QT5 and GTK3 in the hope of
reverting to GTK2—the ebuild doesn't say whether either of those setups is
broken, or they were just never tested. And you'd have to armwrestle LO's
build system, which looks ugly.
