Yeay! Result! Gnome and KDE look cool. 'none' looks yukky. So, I guess mine picks up none, which is puzzling given my USE flags - I mean, what's the point setting flags then?
Well the use flags just add the ability to support (and add dependancies on) the given environment by building the plugin. If you check the output of "ldd /usr/lib/openoffice/program/*", you will see several libraries that depend upon KDE components. Removing the kde use flag would prevent those libraries from being built with openoffice. The choice is made at runtime whether to *use* those libraries. As far as I can tell (I have not checked the OOo sources), OOo decides to use KDE based on the KDE_FULL_SESSION environment variable. Mine is set to 'true'. Do you have something else? Maybe you are not running a the full KDE environment somehow?
How can I make OOo pick a particular desktop env permanently? Where can I set it up?
The easiest would be to modify your ~/.profile and add: export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
