keeping ooffice in foreground



hi guys,

is there any way how to force ooffice, oocalc, oowriter, ... not to go into background? when i issue soffice, it works exactly this way, but i would like to have it (if possible) for oo* as well.

why do i need it? i have openoffice installed in chroot (this is amd64 system). oo* apps are started automatically using a wrapper running schroot with relevant parameters.

i use schroot with automated bindmounting of /home, /tmp, and others after the chroot is entered. these directories should be unmounted after the chroot is left. the problem is, that ooffice goes to background automatically. therefore, schroot wants to exit and unmount the bindmounted directories. this is, however, not possible, because these are used by the oo* binary running in background... then, i have the directories bindmounted several times and have to unmount them personally (which is annoying).

i would be very glad for any hints how to accomplish this.

best regards,
