+1. I think this would allow us to have a real mac application.
The fact that OOo quits when the last window is closed can be disturbing
for Mac-users, that's why it could be a "killer-feature".
Good continuation.
I already did some experimentations with quickstarter code that is
used for other OOo platforms. It is one way to solve this thing.
With quickstarter, it is trivial to get a "background thread" running,
which would enable us to have menu without visible window. (really, a
one line change).
However, the problems that would need to be solved are:
1) Menus are empty for the background thread (Pavel implemented it this way)
2) currently the background thread gets killed when the last window
closes, I have not found way to prevent this (but should be possible).
3) we should not allow user to close the document while leaving the
window open (that contains the frame and toolbars), just remove this
option from menu and/or change the behaviour of the menu item.
...
Anyway, I hope will have time for this in the future, after the 10
have been fixed.
