If you are using KDE, have you tried placing a link to swriter in ~/.kde/Autostart/ ? That should open Writer each time you log in. If you want OOo to start but not have an untitled document opened, use a link to soffice instead. Open Konsole while in the ~/.kde/Autostart/ folder. ln -s /opt/openoffice.org/programs/swriter This will create the link.
