Bug Description

In ooo writer, opening a file causes the ugly ooo file chooser to come up. The
nice gtk one should appear. This happens in Fedora and SUSE.

From bug 18862:

they do work, but it not yet the default. please disable the checkbox "Use
OpenOffice.org Dialogs" in Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/General
the interaction with the Standard OOo dialogs is considerd more stable.

That works for me. This should be the default. I don't see what the OOO dialogs
get us over the gnome ones. Other distros enable them by default.

To fix this, you can remove the file:

/usr/lib/openoffice2/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/Office/Common/Common-UseOOoFileDialogs.xcu

from the files that are shipped. This is what Fedora and SUSE do.
