I think the only way is the menubar control.  In System Preferences-

Are you using 2.3.1 or 2.3.2_rc4?  2.3.2_rc4 should support that  
spaces checkbox.

Ans meta-alt-a is a key-sequence in RetroOffice for select-all?

Well, file this bug with Retrooffice then.  If all you have selected  
is the 'enable syncing' option and no sub option, that's the same as  
it being completely disabled =/
