Is there any solution or workaround for this issue?
It's the "KDE" "integration" that fails, try this in /etc/profile
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
But there might be a problem with the slider on the right.
Thanks, this helped. Also I've used Method 3 from OpenOffice wiki article (see following link):

]]>I selected raster but speed is the same, with opengl backend all my desktop was messed. I like KDE4 more than another desktop, but is slow, consumes more memory, more cpu, qt4 web browsers are slowwwwwww, kwin effects are very slow and i hate gtk2 apps under kde4, they look very ugly even with qtcurve or gkt-qt4-engine. For these reasons i moved to gnome recently.
1. I don't know if raster is improving performance at all, but kde-4.5 has some performance bugs. in my case a export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 (for example in /etc/profile did the job.
2. cpu and memory consumption depends on what background apps are running (nepomuk/strigi, akonadi).
3. qt-webkit performance improved about 50% with qt-4.7, so rekonq, arora and konqueror are really usable from now on.
4. see -> 1.
5. i use some gtk2 apps but with qtcurve/gtk and/or qt-engine and/or gtk-kde4 everything works out. some glitches always remain. but also vice versa (qt/kde apps in an gtk environment)

Indeed, but do we actually need this soft?
I was always just changing exec line of /usr/share/autostart/plasma-desktop.desktop so it would look like this:Exec=plasma-desktop --graphicssystem raster
and it seems to work, also with qt 4.6
Τhat's just for plasma-desktop. With that program within System Settings, you have raster for all the Qt programs.
Oh... thanks for clarifying . And yes - it is faster!

You can even set an environment variable (in qt 4.7) which is what this software does afaik.
QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=raster

ΑΤi or Intel GPU I suppose ?
