Description peter Roots 2012-05-09 10:04:06 UTC 
The download of LO for Linux contains both a Gnome and KDE integration package - if both are installed (the natural result of using dpkg -i *deb in the debs folder) then it seems to be the Gnome package that defines how LO looks on a KDE system rather then the KDE package.
Removing the Gnome package changes the menu icons and looses the option to choose between system and LO file save/open dialogues.
With the Gnome package installed the system dialogue for file open/save is the Gnome one and fails to respect the KDE single click to open (folders when traversing the tree) option that is set system wide.
It is irritating to find LO behaves differently to other packages on KDE with respect to file opening. The menu icons are purely cosmetic but surely they should follow the KDE style if the KDE integration package is installed on KDE.
(not just a 3.5.x issue but has been a problem on earlier versions too)

It only seems to be a cosmetical issue... You can change the settings of the icon type in the options anyway... --> Lowering servity
Comment 2 peter Roots 2012-09-30 15:32:53 UTC 
since when has single click verses double click to open a file been cosmetic?
If every other program on my system respect the single click setting and LO does not then something more fundamental is wrong than a few icons

Okay, I don't have KDE, so can't confirm that...

I've tested in Kubuntu 12.10 live CD, LiBo 3.6.2, KDE 4.9.2.
- With only libreoffice-kde installed, the single click is respected
- With both libreoffice-kde and libreoffice-gtk installed, the single click is respected
- With ONLY libreoffice-gtk installed, look and feel is very "oxygen" thanks to KDE DE integration of GTK, but single click works only for files, not directories
I'm using packages from the distribution that I think is what most people do, so I set it as resolved but if the reporter can test again and find the issue still exists with a stable LiBo, possibly latest >= 3.6, I will open again

I have just installed LO 3.6.5.2 on Fedora18
with both the gnome and KDE integration packages or just KDE integration then the single click to open folders works (if not using the LO dialogue boxes). Single click does not work on files though but this not really an issue (for me at least)
