--- Comment #5 from rainerbielefeld <ra...@bielefeldundbuss.de> ---
Regina damned, you caught me! Indeed, that's absolutely no problem with
appropriate compatibility settings (I simply checked all), AOOo can edit the
Math object without MathType installed in the normal AOOo Formula Editor.
I never in my life thought about these settings. It seems that LibO always does
some useful settings there and (A)OOo does not?

I checked menu 'Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> MSO' with a blank new user
profile for 
* LibO 4.1 Master: All check boxes checked
* AOOo 4-Dev:      NONE of the check boxes checked.

This MIGHT be not a good idea, users become worried as we see here. But on the
other hand, I haven't a clue what will happen when the document will be saved
as an .xls again after an edit. May be the MS-OFFICE version with what the
document has been created will no longer be able to edit the document? I have
no experience here. 

But it seems clear that the only remaining issue is this configuration issue.
I never checked how that is with AOOo for Linux
