hi Christian,

thanks for your patch, the configuration setting is mostly fine ...

... as such, but i'm quite convinced that this setting is actually too
esoteric to put it on the Tools->Options UI, which already displays too
many settings (or at least that's what our UX experts complain about).
Tools->Options->Advanced now has an "Expert Configuration" button in LO
4.2 and that seems appropriate here (i.e. no specific UI for this setting).

also, can you please send a license mail to
libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org  as described on this page:

feel free to add an entry for yourself on the page too.

regards,
