------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jul 5 02:26:11 -0700 2006 ------- OpenOffice.org has mechanisms that allow it to share some settings with its englobing environment (Windows, KDE, GNOME, ...). Examples are the name of the preferred email program, proxy settings, or accessibility settings. This way, the user needs not reconfigure in OpenOffice.org something that she/he already configured in his working environment. These system-wide settings are described in a specification available at http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/system_settings/System-Settings.odt. Some new settings have recently been added which are enabled only in "lockdown mode". Lockdown mode is controlled by --enable-lockdown flag and allows to restrain functionality of OpenOffice.org, for example for computers of public access. Some of these new settings might be of general interest, i.e. not only in lockdown mode. Examples might be the name of the user or the preferred web client. The new settings are not documented yet in the specification. The decision of which settings should be made general and which ones should remain reserved to lockdown mode is not obvious. - First reason is the special way that OpenOffice.org handles some settings and that might prevent from picking it up in the environment. - Second reason is the information available in the environment itself, which might or might not be adapted to the needs of OpenOffice.org. The following should therefore be done: 1. establish a list of the settings that should become general and of the ones that should remain restrained to lockdown mode 2. update the online specification accordingly 3. implement the result in shell/sources/backends for each environment (Windows, KDE, GNOME, ...). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
