Bug #: 46990
Summary: LibreOffice fails to recognize MATE as GNOME/GTK-based
desktop
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.5 release
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: arnaud.champoll...@laposte.net
I have LibreOffice 3.4.5
OOO340m1 (Build:502)
on Debian Wheezy, with MATE desktop.
In LibreOffice, it's impossible tu use GTK open/save dialog boxes as you can in
Gnome.
The problem have been "solved" by adding
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
to ~/.profile
and
if [ -r ~/.profile ]; then
. ~/.profile
fi
to ~/.xsessionrc
Here is the conclusion of Mirosław Zalewski, who helped me on the user mailing
list :
LightDM on login reads script set in session-wrapper in
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file. On Debian, this is /etc/X11/Xsession.
That script sets up X environment, by reading files in /etc/X11/Xsession.d
directory. One of them sources users' XSESSIONRC file, which is ~/.xsessionrc.
In my solution, I tell to put there statement, that reads ~/.profile if it
exists and is readable. Then I tell to put OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP in that ~/.profile
file.
So, in fact, you could put OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP in ~/.xsessionrc and it should
work. I suggest to put in ~/.profile file, because that way you can have all
environment variables in that one single file. If you ever happen to switch
from LightDM to other graphical login manager, or decide to not use any
graphical login manager at all, all your variables should be in place (or will
be with minimal configuration).
Here is an answer of Michael Meeks, on the developper list :
Ok - so this is used in this code:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/vcl/unx/generic/plugadapt/salplug.cxx#n158
and the black-magic desktop detector is here:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/vcl/unx/generic/desktopdetect/desktopdetector.cxx#n50
(...)
If it is certain that your desktop always wants to use the gtk+
backend, -and- it is possible to detect your desktop reasonably quickly
& easily (ie. an environment variable would be best).
Then we can trivially add this to the desktopdetector.cxx and fix all
lightdm users in our next release.
