Thanks a lot for your reply!
I _was_ wondering whether there was a way to update the gcc4 packages
and build OOo that way. I look for instructions on this or just try to
figure it out on my own.

I believe the file picker is the new one in the betas from
openoffice.org, but other than that, I know it is not a good
solution. Especially RPMs installing in /opt is a major pain, since
/opt is shared via NFS at our site.
