There used to be many ideas, but most of the integration became a
"theme-only" where the Oxygen skin will get selected under the Native
Widget Framework.
I honestly don't care if it integrates into the theming. I'd just like to
have AOO on the K menu and the mime-types association.
Anything else is gravy.
This is a list of the 'efforts' done by OpenSuSE on integrating Mozilla
Firefox with KDE, unfortunately there are not links to the actual patches
but it does include, KDE File Dialog support, KDE Application launcher
support and other things (that you dont care) like icons and themes.

If there is a way to get to those patches, it would be trivial to switch to
the OpenOffice values since this is mainly KDE code, more than AOO.

This is getting off-topic, but Slackware 14.0 Linux was up to
mozilla-firefox-21.0 when, to my surprise, the next security release
went back down to 17.0.7esr. Here is an excerpt from the
linux-security.com Slackware page as to the reason Slackware did so:
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/mozilla-firefox-17.0.7esr-i486-1_slack14.0.txz: Upgraded.
This release contains security fixes and improvements.
For more information, see:
http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefoxESR.html
(* Security fix *)
We had to switch to ESR here as well, as there's a problem running Firefox
22.0 on Slackware 14.0 under KDE (crash when oxygen-gtk2 is installed).
Forcing people to uninstall oxygen-gtk2 isn't really an option for a
security fix, and upgrading to the latest oxygen-gtk2 did not help.
It's possible that future Firefox/Thunderbird security updates will always
come from the ESR branch.
+--------------------------+
The reference to "...as well..." refers to Slackware's Mozilla
Thunderbird going back to the 17.0.8 branch too.
More to the topic of AOO desktop integration, I am no longer using AOO.
It's a long story and way off topic. However, I am using LibreOffice
with KDE4 and it installs into the K-menu just fine. I am using the
freedesktop-menus desktop file. I would expect AOO to have the same
desktop file in their package. If not, well then maybe the subject is
not so "hell bent".
Hope this helps.
