After upgrade the gnome from 3.4.1 to 3.6.2 version the variable OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome don't work anymore. Libreoffice-bin (3.6.4.3) now use the default theme instead of using the gnome theme. I use Openbox as a stand-alone window manager with gnome applications. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome 2. soffice 3. Actual Results: Show the libreoffice default theme. Expected Results: Show the gnome theme.

Try: SAL_USE_VCL_PLUGIN=gtk lowriter
(In reply to comment #2) > Try: > > SAL_USE_VCL_PLUGIN=gtk lowriter Thank you for your suggestion. I tried what you suggested but it did not work. This OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome work with gnome 3.4. Something has changed between gnome 3.4 and 3.6.
For what it's worth, "OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde soffice" and "OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome soffice" both work as expected under gnome-3.6: the first one gives a kde-style UI, the second one gives a gnome-style UI. I suspect that whatever is causing this problem has to do with your openbox setup, and whether you are using a login manager (gdm/kdm/lightdm/etc.) or are trying to launching your X session manually from the console (which is hard to do correctly for the modern desktop).

These are my installed packages: x11-wm/openbox-3.5.0_p20121006 x11-misc/lightdm-1.4.0 With gnome 3.4 "OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome soffice" work fine.

Created attachment 333712 [details] Openoffice with gnome theme. To rule out the problem, I installed the 3.6 Openoffice version. The attach file show the Openoffice with gnome theme after running "OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome soffice" command. Conclusion: The OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP variable work with Openoffice, but not work with Libreoffice.
The SAL_USE_VCL_PLUGIN=gtk must work If that does not work you can try to strace it because it fails to load some object and thus fallback to the generic display.

I ment it other way around. :-) Install strace, and run export THEVAR=bla ; strace soffice.bin

Hmm, I can't find any obvious problem in the log. Do you still have this issue?
