Actually, iirc, many of the configurable paths were removed from the GUI in 2.0.3 This caused a HUGE howl of protest, and the keening was so great that the developers (who appear to have made the change rather capriciously, and with approximately zero consideration for what OOo users actually wanted) relented and have put many of the paths back in the Tools>Options section of the UI for user editing. The issuezilla filing was revealing as initially the developers who changed it basically said "stop bleating, if changing the path is that important, edit the config files" - betraying the CLI-philia of their breed. To paraphrase the late and much lamented Douglas Adams, "OOo developers had heard of the notion of user-friendliness, and wanted no truck with it".
