I've red somewhere that OO 2.0 will have this feature, but my beta
release looks always like a java application.
I did some more digging, and it seems you are correct in thinking that
OOo should have this feature. But it doesn't seem to be enabled in the
binary beta builds.
I did an strace of the OOo startup under KDE, and it looks for but
doesn't find a library named "libvclplug_kde608li.so". Since it doesn't
find that, it drops to "libvclplug_gen680li.so", which is what results
in the generic 'java' look.
The closest I got to the KDE L&F is by installing the Geramik theme
(x11-themes/gtk-engines-geramik), since I use Keramik in KDE, and
updating my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file to include that. I also had to start OOo
with "OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome oowriter".
If you don't like the look of Keramik/Geramik, you can probably find
another GTK theme that you do like. Hopefully, a future build of the
beta and/or the final release will include the KDE plugin.

Well, I am not very much knowledgable about this issue. But, as far as I
know, the SuSE folk modify their version of OOo to integrate with KDE.
The native KDE looks and such... Apparently, as I have read somewhere,
the SuSE folk are in sync with the community. Maybe, these changes will
be in OOo 2.0.
