That takes us to the next step: we want to make imported SmartArt
immutable, so users are aware that they can change the document but not
the shapes. We would like to add a configuration setting to enable or
disable this behaviour, and we have thought of doing it at Options ->
Load/Save -> MS Office. We have some doubts on how to call this
parameter and what should be the default behaviour.

Actually, I've been reading in LibO's Help which is the purpose of the
options under "Options -> Load/Save -> MS Office" and they seem to be
really attached to OLE importing/exporting.

Therefore, maybe this is not the best place in which to implement this
option.

The best and most obvious option seems to be "Options -> [Text Document|
Spreadsheet|Presentation] Options -> Compatibility". However, proper UI
with check boxes seems to be only "Text Document". "Spreadsheet"
"Compatibility" subcategory is quite different and it doesn't really
seem to face the task of selecting compatibility options among document
formats. "Presentation" doesn't even have a "Compatibility" subcategory.

In any case, my best guess is that we should go with these
subcategories. As we are facing now just Writer I suppose we can just
add another checkable option and, once we start implement similar
compatibility for "Calc" and "Impress" we can also add the needed items
and subcategories.

What do you think?
