Hi fellowtraveller, *

I can't really help you with the build problem you're having, but I'm the one 
who created the easy hack you're interested in 
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87026) and I'm certainly able to 
provide the necessary mentoring and assistance with the task. It's a nice one 
to get started with. 

It'd be helpful if you'd install Glade (it is surely packaged in your Linux 
distribution) and get familiar with it. You can do without it if you're 
comfortable with editing XML files manually, but that is certainly more error-
prone. 

Next, here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/WidgetLayout is 
everything you ever wanted to know about .ui files in LibO. You don't need 
most of that information, but it contains some useful bits on how to actually 
use Glade (exporting GLADE_CATALOG_SEARCH_PATH is important).

I'm on freedesktop IRC ~every working day, you can also poke me there. 

Bub.
