In OOo 2.4.1 there was an X at the right top corner of the document

the document window and leave the application running by going to File > Close.
In 3.0 the X in the document window is missing. There is still a

is the same as clicking on File > Exit; that is, it shuts down the
application. Also, you can go to Window > Close Window, which should
close the document window and leave the application running, but it
also closes the application.
Is it a bug that File > Close exits the application? Or is this an
interface option that I can fix to make it the way it was in 2.4.1?
Or am I stuck with this?
What you describe for 2.4.1 is exactly how 3.0 also works for me
(under Windows XP). Note that "application" in this context means
OpenOffice, not just Writer or Calc or whatever. So if you close
your last spreadsheet but still have a text document open, for
example, you may think that Calc has closed whereas the fact is that
OpenOffice, in its guise of Writer, is still running. (Remember that
OpenOffice - unlike some others - is an integrated suite, not a
collection of separate applications.)
You seem to be using Linux: does the Linux version work
differently? If not, is it possible that you have a rogue instance
of OpenOffice that has not terminated properly? I'm guessing here,
but could that be confusing your system into thinking that OpenOffice
is indeed still running? What happens if you restart your system?
I trust this helps.
