Bug#314426: openoffice.org: Disabling of startup splash screen
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.4-3
Severity: normal
The bootup splash can be disabled (only by the administrator, it
appears, unfortunately, which is something I think needs to be
changed) by:
35789,9> cat /etc/openoffice/sofficerc
[Bootstrap]
Logo=0
But doing so on a slow computer still means I lose input access to
what was running on the screen for a few (many, sometimes) seconds
before openoffice displays, which is some random long time after which
I may have even forgotten that I launched an openoffice session (say,
via the browser). The screen stops being updated, and nothing accepts
input anymore, but I don't recall whether my typed ahead input ends up
in openoffice or not.
So two requests for the splash screen: It should be disableable by the
user, not the admin only, and if disabled, openoffice should not grab
whatever it is grabbing from X and/or the window manager for those few
seconds.
Thanks.
