I am glad that things seem to be working fine now. In the future, if OO 
seems to hang, jump to the task manager and kill the soffice process 
and/or tasks. I have certainly seen it (on Windows and Linux) hang with 
nothing displayed. When that happens, a new instance will not properly 
start until the existing processes are killed. I don't see this often, 
and I don't even remember what I last saw it.
