Found while testing 2.2 RC 3 on KDE 3.5.6 on SUSE 9.3. Standard KDE RPM's,
provided by SUSE.

OOo now adopts the desktop colour scheme correctly, unlike 2.0.4. But now a
problem occurs: If the document contains a OOo Draw object with text elements in
it, those texts are not exported correctly on PDF export if the text has its
colour set to "automatic."

To reproduce:
1. Start OOo
2. Open a Writer document with an embedded Draw object that contains text(s).
The colour of the text in the Draw object should be automatic. OR created a Draw
object with a text element using automatic colour for the text, type something
in the element, and insert the drawing into the Writer Document.
3. The drawing is displayed correctly on the Writer document, using automatic
colours.
4. File->Export as PDF, with the default settings.
5. View the PDF: The text inside the drawing now has the automatic colour as its
colour, while all text in the Writer document have been transformed to black,
and do not have the automatic display colour as its colour.

If the displayed automatic colour is white, the texts inside a drawing will
naturally disappaer, as they won't show against the white background of the
resulting PDF document. On the other hand, Writer-generated texts will not
export as white (automatic colour), but will become black.

The automatic font colour in OOo on my systems is shown as white, as my desktop
theme is such that UI widgets and elements are darkish, and texts are either
pure white or of light colours. OOo shows the writer document with these colours
if automatic colours are used. 

So: The automatic colours get transformed to the default colours of black and
white for the Writer document -> black text on white background, unless set
otherwise, despite what the automatic colours are. This is correct and makes
sense. BUT the text inside a Draw object WILL NOT get tranformed to black, but
rather retains the automatic font colour, in my case, white. This is exactly the
opposite behaviour to Writer, and this is why I first though that the text had
not been exported at all. The result: No text shown inside a drawing in the
exported PDF, as they're white, and can't be seen. On other systems they would
retain whatever happens to be the automatic font colour, I guess. Again, it
should obviously not work like that, when compared to how Writer does this. How
can objects from different components be combined if they treat automatic
colours differently?
