I'm confused.

ooqstart-gnome provided an "applet" (forgive me if I get the
terminology wrong), which could sit on my GNOME panel and allow me to
preload OOo, and quickly start a new document.

openoffice.org-gtk provides /usr/lib/openoffice/program/ooqstart but
no guidance on how to use it and it does not seem to be accessible as
an applet; running it directly dies with:

** ERROR **: Missing default argument in OOO_EXTRA_ARG
aborting...
Aborted

I don't know what you mean by the "eggtray" thing?

Confused,
