Description
Now OpenOffice.org reads KDE "system-wide" settings :
- preferred email client
- location of "Documents" folder
- proxy settings
- accessibility tools enabled
OOo already provided similar functionality in Windows and GNOME
environments.
As KDE proxy settings can be dynamic (read from PAC files on the proxy
server, for example) and depend on time, destinatination URL, etc, an
approximation is made: it's the proxy settings for destination
"www.openoffice.org" at the time the setting is read.
The location of the Documents folder can be set by the user and is not
necessarily "$HOME/Documents".
Reading accessibility settings has temporarily been disabled, because it
makes little sense without a OOo - Qt accessibility bridge.
As a side effect, a new package named "openoffice.org-kde-integration"
appears (there is already a similar "openoffice.org-gnome-intergration"
package).
The online help and the specification have been updated accordingly
(thanks obr).
