Re: Just give me a break.

I totally agree. Using OOo brings to mind the expression 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth'. Without it large Linux deployments wouldn't happen. It is nice to see the active development in KOffice.

Regarding DBUS (and other technologies that Kde would adopt), the question is whether the developers are responsive to the needs and suggestions from the Kde folks. From what I understand, there is no problem.

Hi,
Even though I understand your point, 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth' seems like a terrible choice as an expression to me. If it's important as a selling point right now, then it should be examined closely. If KDE integration is important this kind of things simple cannot happen: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23526

Drag and Drop of images from konqueror to some of the OpenOffice.org apps (e.g. OO Writer), create a link to the image instead of including it. This can be terrible, it affects KDE users directly. It screwed up lots of documents of my sister which were filled with pictures. I reported it almost one year ago. I'd expect at least, lots pressure from distros like SUSE towards the OO.org developers to fix this kind of nasty bugs.

My sister is now using KOffice for that kind of work.
