Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
This bug is related to this Ubuntuforums thread: http://
GTK integration in OOo has some flaws that make using it on a Gnome environment less satisfying than it could be. After seeing how good work Mozilla has done at making Firefox look like a normal GTK app, couldn't something similar be done with OOo? Can't we learn something from how they've managed to get such fine results?

I know that this report is quite silly, because it's too "general", but...
Is it possible, in the future, to port OpenOffice to use GTK+ or, even better, wxWindows?
This would allow to have a multiplatform suite (every Win; GTK Linux; every Mac; more to come, maybe BeOS?) by writing a class-based amount of code, and also to integrate more the suite with the Gnome world, which Sun likes a lot... :)
Also, is there any rumour about splitting OpenOffice in multiple applications, for speed reasons?
Thanks :)
