I do not agree that this is just an openoffice bug. I know OO is causing
it - and I am sure the OO-debuggers are working on it - but this is
totally besides the issue.

I am not talking for myself here - I have no issue with shutting down
via command line or disabling ooqs first. But other people will do.

"Shutting down" a pc is a pretty fundamental thing. Everybody will
expect this to work - even if nothing else does!

I know that the only sensible importance for this bug is "low".
Unfortunately there are importance levels for reputational damage to the
Ubuntu System overall. This is a serious design flaw - making the system
look stupid.

The quick-starter is a widely used thing. It may be the first thing many
people activate after an install. Then they can not shut down.

I noticed on several occasions that a message flashes up for a fraction
of a second (in am on an always fully updated 10.04) - telling you what
is causing the failure of shutdown - but it disappears instantly. You
should always get feedback why the system is not shutting down - and
ideally suggestions on how to should down anyway. It should happen in
any case for any application that is causing the cancellation of a
shutdown.

...unless you are happy with MS handling this way better.
