Most likely you're starting XWin in multiwindow mode where every window
from X11 is mapped to a Windows window. If you replace the -multiwindow
with -nodecoration then you get a single window for the whole remote
session. Or you could create a link which directly starts openoffice
without the KDE desktop
ssh -Yf 192.168.1.13 soffice
BTW: you should use ssh -Y instead of ssh -X because -X does only enable
untrusted X11 connections where some features are not working.
