When I tried the above in OpenOffice 3.1.1, Writer locked up at the
'Add all' stage (Step 11 of the web site instructions).
Having done the 375MB download I extracted the files and gave the New
Theme 'Files' function the address of the generated directory
(~/Download/openclipart-0.19), and clicked Select.
It then generated a long list of the clipart objects, and I
then clicked the 'Add All' button.
At this point a small window headed 'Apply' opened, but it was
incomplete, and would not respond to mouse clicks. It also locked up
Writer.
What is the 'Apply' window for? I did try letting it run for 20
minutes, thinking that perhaps it simply needed a long time to
complete, but when I returned, Writer's screen was an empty shell,
from which I had to skull-and-crossbones out.
What is Add All supposed to be doing at that point?
(There was no change in the conents of ~/.ooo3/gallery.)
