Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

OpenOffice.org doesn't match FreeDesktop directories specs

On linux, OpenOffice.org use (only ?) the $HOME/.openoffice.org2 folder.
Witch doesn't match FreeDesktop.org recomendations.
You should use the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environement variable ($HOME/.config)
For all your config/preferences files. This folder should be removable
without any data loss.
Then, all the user data like dictionnary, extentions, templates,... should be 
in $XDG_DATA_HOME ($HOME/.local/share).
And, if any, your cache should be in $XDG_CACHE_HOME ($HOME/.cache).

See :
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/basedir-spec
and :
