From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Galeon/1.3.14 Description of problem: OpenOffice.org won't use the currently set GNOME theme or GNOME font if nautilus is not running. I prefer to run my GNOME session without running nautilus for performance reasons. If nautilus is not running (i.e. if I shut it down via gnome-session-properties) then OpenOffice.org reverts to the default theme and fonts, and neither the GTK theme nor the currently set font is used by OpenOffice.org's GUI. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.1-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create new user account 2. Login 3. Run OpenOffice.org from menu 4. Note that themes and font can be varied by changing values in Theme and Font under Preferences 5. Close OpenOffice.org 6. Run gnome-session-properties from gnome-terminal 7. Go to current session programs tab, highlight "nautilus", click "Remove" then "Apply". Note that GNOME desktop stops running 8. Re-run OpenOffice.org from menu, note that interface reverts to default 9. Try changing Theme and Font from Preferences, note no change in OpenOffice.org 10. Restart nautilus, note that themes in OOo return. 9. Actual Results: When nautilus is not running, neither themes nor font changes will change OOo's interface font. Expected Results: I would expect that the themes and font changes would be reflected in OOo. Changes to theme and font DO take effect for all other apps, such as gnome-terminal, galeon, epiphany etc. OOo is the only app that behaves this way when nautilus is not running, why should it behave any differently from other GNOME apps? Additional info:
The Fedora Core 2 update release [openoffice.org-1.1.2-10.fc2] (which is a new upstream version) appears to fix problem. Now, whether or not nautilus is running, the theme is the current GTK2 theme, rather than the default OOo theme. Theme changes also appear to be sticky. Closing this bug.
