OpenOffice.org 1.1.3-kde
========================

   OpenOffice.org [http://www.openoffice.org/] 1.1.3 with KDE
integration [http://kde.openoffice.org/] is now available for download.
It also features a lot of other improvements over the stock OOo
(including the GNOME integration bits; but do not be afraid, it does not
link against Gtk+ in KDE, and vice versa), because it is built from the
ooo-build [http://ooo.ximian.com/ooo-build.html] codebase.

     Download: Installation set for Linux i386
[http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=packages/ooffice/OOo_1.1.3-kde_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz]
(~80MB).

     Features:
    * The current stable version of OpenOffice.org with many ooo-build
      patches and improvements
    * KDE Native Widget Framework
    * KDE (Crystal) icons
    * KDE file dialog (Open, Save As)
    * KDE splash screen by Dariusz Arciszewski
    * Gtk+ NWF and file dialog when executed in Gnome
 Known problems:
    * You need libstartup-notification installed, otherwise it fails to
      run with "no suitable windowing system found, exiting."
    * The KDE file dialog seems to hang OOo on Fedora Core 3 when it has
      Preview on (F11 in the dialog), but most probably it is a Fedora
      bug (treats unrecognized file types as sound).
    * The new systems that build their packages from ooo-build (e.g.
      SUSE 9.2) do not need this package; check whether you have the KDE
      file dialog in your OOo before installing.


     The project's homepage http://kde.openoffice.org
[http://kde.openoffice.org/] is a bit outdated at the moment, but the
work still continues. The main concern is OOo 2.0 now, see the ooo-build
ChangeLog.
 [http://ooo.ximian.com/ChangeLog]
     Help of an artist is needed for OOo 2.0: It contains a lot of new
icons, the default ones are not acceptable for modern KDE desktop.
Please drop me a mail if you are able (and willing) to draw some of
them. :-)
