Ok, I have some additional info...

First of all, maybe the program does work as designed :(..  Then I wouldn't 
like the way it's designed ;).. There should be some way to sort this out.

I ran oowriter2 with strace and saw that openoffice was reading locale info 
from /usr/lib/locale.  I installed back 2.0.4 and ran LC_ALL="en_US" oowriter2 
and voila! Letter as a default pagesize..  Ok, so maybe it has to do something 
with the LC_VARIABLES.  Next, I want the paper size from en_US but want the 
application in spanish.. (LC_ALL="" because if set, overrides everything else)

LC_ALL="" LANGUAGE="es_MX" LANG="es_MX" LC_PAPER="en_US" LC_ADDRESS="es_MX" 
LC_COLLATE="es_MX" LC_CTYPE="es_MX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_MX" 
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_MX" LC_MONETARY="es_MX" LC_NAME="es_MX" LC_NUMERIC="es_MX" 
LC_TELEPHONE="es_MX" LC_TIME="es_MX" LC_MESSAGES="es_MX" oowriter2

no dice!  The default is A4 and then also, the default measurements are 
inches, even with LC_NUMERIC and LC_MEASUREMENT set to es_MX.  strace tells me 
that openoffice does read es_MX/LC_PAPER, but the only setting that changes 
the behaviour of the paper size is LC_ALL (which I think is not what's 
supposed to happen)  The same thing happens with length measurements.  The 
only thing that brings back the centimeters is LC_ALL, but that brings also 
A4 :(  what's going on here?  it's kinda weird :P

(Enjoying the ride :D)
