No idea :-(  There was no change recently (= for oob-m*) in the kdefilepicker 
code, and it works for me fine.  Didn't you have some change in your KDE?  
What happens if you run <ooo_installation>/program/kdefilepicker, type 'exec'  
and press Enter?  Do you get the file picker?

This was always there.  Unfortunately, it's not that simple to do window from 
external application modal :-(
