Thanks for the suggestion.  I had been using the command oowriter to
open it. I tried your suggestion, and other combinations (in
my .wmdrawerrc file), and find now that it opens showing the top window
bar, but it covers the lower panel until I hit the maximize button
(which moves the program up).  This is a bit better, I guess.  

It's a somewhat fickle program.  Anyway, it's just a minor annoyance.
