Package: openoffice.org-impress
Version: 2.2.1-9
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

I read an article about vulnerabilities so did
$ ooimpress --version
to check the version, which of course was a wrong guess.
Try that on a slow machine. You will realize there is no way to abort:
^C does not abort, ^Z does not suspend, ALT F4, does not kill the
"loading" window, which of course does not offer a X "close this
window" icon on its corner. No, one will have to wait for openoffice
programs to fully load and finally offer a button to cancel or a menu
before one is allowed to leave.

Or if one has another window available, one could use ps(1) or
pstree(1) to figure out the name one could give to killall(1),
assuming there are some CPU cycles left to do all that.

So openoffice programs should allow users to abort early if they find
they have accidentally started one of the programs.

P.S., add --version and --help perhaps.

P.S., -h indeed give both, but indeed _after_ the shell prompt has
been given back to the user!
