Re: [libreoffice-users] How to use GTK open dialog box in LibreOffice

Hi

It seems that LO fails to recognize MATE as GNOME/GTK-based desktop. You can 
try running LO like that:

OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome libreoffice

This way I was able to force GNOME file-picker on my KDE box.

If you would like to force GTK everytime, try adding:

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome

into your ~/.bashrc (or similar, depending on your shell) or ~/.profile (AFAIR 
GDM from GNOME 2 read latter file on login; don't know about MATE and I don't 
know what login manager you are using).

I think that variable name is quite misleading. Perhaps no one noticed it yet. 
Will you be able to find few minutes and file bug report about it on LO 
bugzilla? Or at least send message to developers mailing list (maybe it should 
be discussed first)?
