Hi,
I am currently testing a fix for showstopper bug 120476. I am doing
this on a 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 (building install sets is an order of
magnitude faster than on windows.) During that I observed a hang when
closing the office. It is caused by the quickstarter: starting
OpenOffice with the command line option -quickstart=no lets me close the
office cleanly.
Now my question: did we activate the quickstarter on Linux on purpose?
If so, we may have a small problem at least on Ubuntu 12.04 and probably
on any Linux that uses a GTK based UI that is not Gnome-2: I have no
quickstarter button anywhere on the screen, that would a) indicate that
the quickstarter is active and that b) would allow me to deactivate it.
Regards,
Andre

Ah, thanks. I remember now that I had seen this. (but due to switching
my mail account I could no longer find it with my mail reader)
Apparently, there was some concern that we weren't consistent with
different platforms and I believe the consensus was to enable it for
all platforms (though I was dissenting on this).
I we want to keep it then we should think about providing an icon (with
context menu) for all platforms that don't have one at the moment
(probably any modern GTK based Linux).
Use Options -> Tools -> Memory to disable it.
(Also some discussion about making this more "user friendly".)
