    Upgrading openoffice.org from

    openoffice.org-*-1.9.125-1.1.0.fc4.i386.rpm

    to

    openoffice.org-*-2.0.0-3.2.1.i386.rpm,

    I find it is no longer possible to change the default document language
    - it is hard wired to the interface language.

    Tools -> Options...

    Language Settings -> Languages

    In the lower part of the pane, there is "Default languages"
    The label "Western" and associated drop-down is now grayed out. The
    value is taken from the Interface Language in the same pane. So if I
    change the user interface to "Italiano" and restart OO, I then see the
    document default language as "Italiano" - but I cannot change it back to
    English, even just for the current document, as is the expected
    behavior. I have verified this with just the Italian and German
    language packs installed.

    Has anyone else seen this? If not, I'll file a bug.
