A billion times easier solution! Ximian OpenOffce works just by doing `OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome xooffice&`. Or you could just put that export statement into your .xinitrcBushmann wrote:there's a solution!
create /etc/openoffice/openoffice.conf
and insert:
# force OOo to use theme settings from gnome or KDE or disable?
# set to 'gnome', 'kde' or 'none' to override the autodetection
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
