Thanks for your response Petr,
(humbly looking for the "stupid" rock to crawl under) Ahh.. I think in
this case it was operator induced error. The problem was most likely the
result of running Konqueror in super user mode and launching a document
from within Konqueror which caused OO to source root's settings and not
the users. That is why the OO settings looked so different. Confusing as
heck until the light bulb went on.
