Okay, I put in my user information, and now it acts the way Larry said. It
saves any style list setting *other* than "hierarchical." This was done on
my Win7 setup. I'll try it next on my Ubuntu install to see if there is any
difference.

Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> User Data. Fill in your name
as a minimum. This defines who is opening AOO and seems to set his/her
preferences including how F11 opens.
