Sometimes I launch OOo2 on a big file (several hundreds of pages). It
takes a while to load it and process it so I would like to be able to
have it work while I do something else in another virtual desktop. Two
things however make this difficult:

. The initial splash screen. I have to wait for it to complete and for the
  OOo2 main window to appear or else it will bother me in the other virtal
  desktop

. Initial dialog boxes. No matter how I configure my security preferences, I
  still have to click on one before getting access to the document:

-=-=-=
This document contains macros.
Execution of this macros[sic] is disabled due to the
current macro security setting. Therefore, some
functionality may not be available.

                   [OK]
-=-=-=

(Note the grammar error.)

Now this poses two problems:

1/ while I have not clicked on this [OK] button, OOo2 does not
   start loading and processing my document
2/ if this dialog box appears on another virtual desktop, OOo2
   will appear to freeze and not react to anything. Really its
   only focus is this little window which can be hidden or lost
   somewhere else.

I would therefore like for there to be a way to tell OOo2 to use just
one window at all times, stick to it, and fire it up as soon as
possible. Right now it is a 3 step procedure:

1/ splash screen
2/ main window
3/ dialog box

I would like to turn this into a one step procedure:

1/ main window
  (progress bar of the splash screen)
  embedded dialog boxes / and a way to deactivate the previous one anyway

Then just disable it? /etc/openoffice/sofficerc. Logo=0.

Then change that setting to "Low" if you REALLY want..?
