Hi Arnaud,

The problem have been solved by adding
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome

        Ok - so this is used in this code:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/vcl/unx/generic/plugadapt/salplug.cxx#n158

        and the black-magic desktop detector is here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/vcl/unx/generic/desktopdetect/desktopdetector.cxx#n50

        FWIW, this horrific mess is basically Havoc Pennington's fault for
killing my proposal to have a standard freedesktop desktop-environment
environment variable about a decade ago ;-) but I digress.

In my solution, I tell to put there statement, that reads ~/.profile if it
exists and is readable. Then I tell to put OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP in that 
~/.profile file.

        If it is certain that your desktop always wants to use the gtk+
backend, -and- it is possible to detect your desktop reasonably quickly
& easily (ie. an environment variable would be best).

        Then we can trivially add this to the desktopdetector.cxx and fix all
lightdm users in our next release. But of course you'd need to come up
with that information and/or a patch :-)

        HTH,

                Michael.
