Re: 4.1.1 Binary size
Why not create a page on the site for all clipart so someone can download the image and use it. that way the directory that has all the images can disappear from the install.

I had a quick look at the Ubuntu packages and found libreoffice-common (arch-independant files) had exploded from 10MB to 26MB. Digging into that, I found: /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/gallery to have grown from 6MB to 23MB. As a onetime event that is still bearable, but artwork is _very_ expensive spacewise so if there is further growth, packaging most of that externally (e.g. as an extension) and trimming down to the very basics as a default would be needed IMHO.

Digging into that, I found: /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/gallery to have grown from 6MB to 23MB. As a onetime event that is still bearable, but Wow - that is quite some growth :-) for me I have 19Mb of files - the vast majority of that .sdg files - which are the files containing the images: SgaObject* GalleryTheme::ImplReadSgaObject( GalleryObject* pEntry ) has the pieces there. Comparing vs. extra/source/gallery that contains 17Mb of 'stuff'. I imagine much of the problem comes from the large PNGs of rather stylized images which would do much better as their original SVG source (though we don't have that). I guess the easiest way to save a few MB there is to rip out the larger sounds - that's 3Mb of stuff there, and I've ~never seen them used in anger :-) perhaps leaving just a few of them. Luckily with the new gallery infrastructure it's ~trivial to submit a patch for that see the list in extras/Gallery_sound.mk Patches most welcome; though of course - we'd need to check that existing documents don't hard-code links to these paths [ it seems likely sadly ] into the gallery.
