Query on content of File-Open window in OO2.3 after its inst

I have installed OO2.3 from downloaded debs (onto an Asus eee pc). There problem I am having is as follows:

Looking at OO2.3 running on another computer (a "real" pc under kubuntu), when typing file open the window that opens shows a list of folder icons down the left hand side, but performing the same operation in the OO2.3 running on the eee pc does not. Here are some screen shots:

OO2.3 running under kubuntu

OO2.3 running under eee pc

I wonder if it possible to configure OO2.3 running on the eee pc to show the folder icons?

I would guess that the settings under Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/General/ OpenSave Dialogs are different on both computers. Uncheck the 'use OO dialog' box to see the system dialog.

Thank you for the reply.

On the asus eee pc computer the "open/save dialogs" option is not available (ie it is simply not shown at all under Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/General.

I would be grateful for some other ideas/suggestions about this issue.

Are the versions of OpenOffice the same version? Or packaged by the same people? Installed the same way?
