It is on the agenda of the TC, but we will surely not decide next Monday.

The problem with built-in shapes in the view of ODF file format is, that 
the rendering in LO depends on 'draw:type' attribute. But that should 
not be.

I do not understand you. The problem is how to specify changes to the 
color of a subpath in an enhanced geometry.

The current implementation has three concepts:
(1) Use the new commands H I J K inside the 'drawooo:enhanced-path' 
attribute in case of draw:type="ooxml-foo" and direct pptx import.
(2a) Use a value for the member nColorData which is set from constants 
inside the ctor of the enhanced-geometry. This is used in case of 
"mso_sptfoo".
(2b) Extract the value for the member nColorData from the value in 
draw:type. That is done for the cases draw:type="col-nnn". That is used 
for the shapes "Octagon Bevel" and "Diamond Bevel", but would work for 
other shapes too, see attached document.

The colors in (1) are currently different from the specification for the 
OOXML attribute 'ST_PathFillMode'. I think, that is a bug and have 
proposed a patch to change that.

But using nColorData allows colors, that cannot be represented with the 
four values possible in the OOXML attribute 'ST_PathFillMode'. On the 
other hand, besides the shapes "ActionButtonHome" and "CurvedArrow" only 
20% and 40% is actually used and LibreOffice is not effected for direct 
pptx import but only for documents which already contain shapes of type 
"mso_sptfoo" or "col-nnn".

Kind regards
