It built fine, so I pushed it into 3-5 branch with Michael's approval,
see
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-3-5&id=eaf9cbd403f375f9b69e1c7ed8503d3bc23bcc6e

I saw it also in 3-6 branch.

The questions is if it is save enough for 3-5-5 branch. The problem is
that there won't be much testing before 3.5.5 release. Well, I do not
see anything wrong in the patch, so I might give one extra approval. So,
if we get one more...


Best Regards,
Petr
