OK.

o I installed kubuntu
o Checked standard (U)OOo - OK
o Uninstalled (U)OOo via Synaptic
o Downloaded the OOo .deb (http://openoffice.org)
o Untarred & installed (sudo dpkg -i *.deb) - but *first* I renamed
openoffice.org-gnome-integration_2.3.0-5_i386.deb to
x-openoffice.org-gnome-integration_2.3.0-5_i386.deb-x so I don't
mistakenly install it
o sudo dpkg-i *.deb
o cd desktop-integration
o sudo dpkg-i *.deb
o Went to the KDE menu 'Office' & clicked OpenOffice.org 2.3 Word
Processor & completed the install.
Done.

Opened Writer & then File|Open & all seems to work as expected. (man, I
find that KDE bouncing icon thing as irritating as the Windows helper dog..)

So, I'm unsure what you find to be a problem with the dialogs. Perhaps
it's just that I'm used to Gnome and am missing something re KDE?
