Public bug reported:

This report concerns KUbuntu Trust 14.04.2 LTS and libreoffice
1:4.2.8-0ubuntu2 .

LibreOffice has an option (tick box) in the general settings that allows
the user to chose between LibreOffice's own file dialogs, and the
"system" dialogs.

When the libreoffice-kde package is not installed, this indeed works,
and one gets (what appears to be) the standard GTk file dialog for
saving, opening, etc.

As soon as libreoffice-kde is installed, one always gets the LibreOffice
dialog, regardless of the setting of this option. This degrades DE
homogeneity, and also causes a loss of features present in the KDE file
dialog but not in LibreOffice's.

Keeping libreoffice-kde uninstalled would be a workaround, but leads to
worse discomfort (very ugly and heavy UI font).
