Problem Description:

This updates provides a security update to the OpenOffice.org described
as follow:

OpenOffice's xmlsec uses a bundled Libtool which might load .la
file in the current working directory allowing local users to gain
privileges via a Trojan horse file. For enabling such vulnerability
xmlsec has to use --enable-crypto_dl building flag however it does
not, although the fix keeps protected against this threat whenever
that flag had been enabled (CVE-2009-3736).

Addittionaly this update provides following bug fixes:

OpenOffice.org is not properly configure to use the xdg-email
functionality of the FreeDesktop standard (#52195).

Template desktop icons are not properly set up then they are not
presented under the context menu of applications like Dolphin (#56439).

libia_ora-gnome is added as suggest as long as that package is needed
for a better look (#57385#c28).

It is enabled a fallback logic to properly select an OpenOffice.org
style whenever one is set up but that is not installed (#57530#c1,
#53284, #45133, #39043)

It is enabled the Firefox plugin for viewing OpenOffice.org documents
inside browser.
