OOo no reason to use inferior Desktop.

Bullshit. I am using the Debian OpenOffice version<nobr> <wbr></nobr>,which has integrated the sensible parts of the Ximian integration, e.g. the better icons. Everything you name helps KDE as a desktop just as well. I am using FontConfig/XFt2 and ghostscript. OO adapts to the font and colour I set in Kcontrol. It does look like a native app.

So all that might be missing is a kioslave patch for Openoffice. I agree that this would be nice, but I think most Desktop users would not need the desktop transparency in a thin client environment like Largo.

The mistake Ximian made in Largo? They let the users compare and test. Gnome will fail in any direct comparison.

Return to Largo rolls out OpenOffice.org, looks at Gnome
