I just tested it with my Ubuntu install and obtained the same result.
With my name in the User Information, OO 3.4.1 preserves any style list

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
