*Official Announcement:* Ubuntu Studio is switching to XFCE.

[Erik Rasmussen]

Interesting.  I've never tried opening a PDF with OpenOffice.  Out of
curiosity, why do you do that and which portion of OpenOffice do you use?
 (Writer, Calc, Draw, etc.)

LibreOffice is really developing rapidly (unlike OpenOffice), and it would
seem that OpenOffice will probably fade into the sunset as it seems that the
developers have jumped ship and the majority are in The Document Foundation
working on LibreOffice now.

*(Perhaps it would be good to reach out to the LibreOffice developers to
request that feature, if you need it.  Maybe they don't realize OpenOffice
has it and LibreOffice does not.)*
