@Nina Marwede and @Dragonfly - It is unlikely that the fix only works for some. 
It is more likely that the right file was not changed.
Open a terminal and do
locate Recovery
(note above command is case sensitive - so it is Recovery not recovery)
It should spit out something like this
---------------------
/home/smartass/.openoffice.org/3/user/registry/cache/org.openoffice.Office.Recovery.dat
/home/smartass/.openoffice.org/3/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Recovery.xcu
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Recovery.xcu
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/share/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office/Recovery.xcs
---------------------
If you do not like the "sed-stuff" you can do following
the file in the 3rd line above needs to be modified (in share/registry) - 
select it with the mouse and rightclick and copy the selection
press alt-F2 to open the run dialog
type
gksu gedit (not the space after gedit and paste the full path here)
The whole line will then look like this:
gksu gedit 
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Recovery.xcu
It is a small file - only 17 lines - make sure it says false in both lines 
which so it looks like this
<value>false</value>
then safe and exit.
Please make sure to exit all office apps before you do it. Also quit the 
quickstarter itself before you do it.
Start an office application - re-enable the quickstarter. (you will have to go 
into options twice for that since there is no apply button)
Let us know if that still does not work for you. If it does not please send us 
the output of following command (run inside a terminal)
cat 
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Recovery.xcu
