This is a somewhat known issue with OO.  Pop-up windows in OO are also about 
unreadable, which is solved by grabbing the  pop-up edge with the mouse and 
dragging it until it's readable.  Trial and error till you find what makes 
the  pop-up windows fully readable.

It's also seemingly OS dependent, as I did different thing on CentOS to 'make 
it better' than I did on Ubuntu.

To fix most of it (Ubuntu), I started with the theme Plastik and made mods to 
that.  If someone knows where themes are stored I can do a diff between my 
changes and the original Plastick.  Or just upload it.
