OO.org Writer Doesn't stay consistent with look [SOLVED]

When I double click on a file to open it, OO.org Writer uses the GTK-Qt engine when it opens. However, if I start it from the menu or the command /opt/kde/bin/kgtk2-wrapper soffice-writer, it ignores the GTK-Qt engine...and it's really distracting me.

I'm guessing somehow when you start the app the "normal way", it's not reading your desire for a GTK interface. Why use kgtk2-wrapper? OpenOffice can use GTK natively.

Try adding 'export OOO_FORCE_GNOME=gnome' to your .xinitrc and restarting X.

The KGTK wrapper lets it use the Konqueror open file dialog rather than GTK's.

Ah, very nice. Sorry. Still though, do you have that environment variable set? If you don't OOo will use its own graphics toolkit, which is not Qt or GTK. My guess is still that the process for opening a file is using that variable, but it's not declared globally, so a simple start doesn't work.

Okay. I forced the variable and the look is consistent now. Thanks.
