Bug#617550: libreoffice: startup screen button mouseovers are confusing



Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:3.3.1-1
Severity: normal

The initial LibreOffice splash screen (the one that lets you choose an
application) is disorienting.  Initially, the screen is mostly white,
but mousing over each application makes a gray button form around the
application.

Attached is a screenshot of such an initial window where a few of the
items have been moused over (but not all).

It's not clear if this UI is supposed to mean anything special, or if
it is a bug.

If it has special meaning, it is a mystery to me (and probably also
 mystifying and therefore more likely to intimidate normal users).

If it is a bug, it makes for a pretty poor first impression for new
users of the software.

Thanks for packaging LibreOffice for debian!
