Hi Gerry,

A quick question. Why is the quickstarter enabler kept in a config
directory outside of the user's OOo stuff.
I suppose that's because this is really about desktop integration: The
desktop probably checks this location for things to, well, quickstart.
Just a guess.


Okay. Sounds reasonable. However, this new feature needs to be
documented so I am looking for confirmation that your guess is so. Can
someone confirm or direct me to some spec that will explain whether this
is *NIX specific, WM specific (e.g. Gnome vs. KDE vs. ...) or mimics
Windows integration?

this was fixed in issue http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=57872
Sorry, I don't know much more about this feature.
Works almost as the Windows Quickstarter, with a config setting at the same place in Tools-Options. Big difference is that on Windows the library files are loaded on system startup, while on Unix systems there is an icon in the sys tray. Don't have any more info what happens to the lib files, whether RAM is used or reserved, or what else it does. May be it is only a convenient way to start new documents, while the Unix system cares for the memory needed by libraries as usual.
