Hi It seems that LO fails to recognize MATE as GNOME/GTK-based desktop. You can try running LO like that:
OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome libreoffice This way I was able to force GNOME file-picker on my KDE box. If you would like to force GTK everytime, try adding: export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome into your ~/.bashrc (or similar, depending on your shell) or ~/.profile (AFAIR GDM from GNOME 2 read latter file on login; don't know about MATE and I don't know what login manager you are using). I think that variable name is quite misleading. Perhaps no one noticed it yet. Will you be able to find few minutes and file bug report about it on LO bugzilla? Or at least send message to developers mailing list (maybe it should be discussed first)? -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
