Well, it seems SO7 doesn't provide him with an empty, but with *no*
document. Still, I think that's how it's meant to be. At least some
former versions of StarOffice (and maybe OpenOffice) presented a sort
of desktop view from which you could start the individual applications
like Writer or Calc.
The OpenOffice incarnation I have here (1.1.2) also seems to look the
way you describe it. The application starter - or however you would
call it - from KDE only has links to the separate apps (Writer, Calc,
etc). When I start it manually by typing `openoffice' I get a blank
screen with a menu on top saying File, Edit, etc. So your SO7 seems
fine.
