The wizard still doesn't work on
LibreOffice 3.5.0rc2
Build ID: e371a95-bf68a13-5a1aa2b-d3c1ae9-b938258
.deb from LO. It's nothing to do with the distrib - but this is running
on Ubuntu 10.10.

However, opening Base & selecting connect to existing database does show
(for me) 'SeaMonkey Address Book' and 'Thunderbird/IceDove Address Book'
- those do work - partially[1].
  However, Edit|Database|Properties is greyed out on SeaMonkey, I can
only select 'Connection type'. On Thunderbird I can select the profile.

[1] I ran a test by adding test addressbooks on Thundrbird and SeaMonkey
(both are Mozilla versions, not distro related) in additionto the
regular exising address books:

In SeaMonkey: TestingSeaMonkey w/1 address
In Thunderbird: ThunderbirdTest w/1 address

I then opened 3.5RC2 & opened Base|Connect to existing
database|Thunderbird/IceDove Address Book|Finish|Yes Register|Open for
editing| Base opens the SeaMonkey address book (SeaMonkey version 2.7b5)
instead of the Thunderbird (version 9.0.1) address book. I can tell this
because it included the 'TestingSeaMonkey' address book in the tables.
If I repeat the above opening the SeaMonkey address book, Base opens the
correct address book (the SeaMonkey one which includes 'TestingSeaMonkey'.

So something is still screwed up. Profiles/address books for both are
exactly where they should be:
Thunderbird: ~/.thunderbird/<profile>/
SeaMonkey: ~/.mozilla/seamonkey/<profile>/
