OpenOffice query: shutdown

[Kevin D. Clark]

I have some spreadsheets and documents that I have been editing in
OpenOffice lately.  Sometimes when I'm tired, when I decide it is time
to stop working and turn off my laptop, I just tell Gnome to logout
and shutdown the computer -- I don't manually tell OpenOffice to exit
first.

As I recall in older releases, this action used to generate a popoup
that asked me "hey, do you want to save your important OpenOffice
documents?".  But I don't see this anymore.

When OpenOffice gets killed uncleanly, in my experience the results
are mixed.  Sometimes when it gets restarted in the next session it
tells me about the previous session and tries to fix things.  Other
times it is silent.  Sometimes my entire document disappears, and I am
grateful that I have backups.  Sometimes all of this occurs even if I
was just perusing some document and didn't actually modify the
document in any way.

Is there any action/configuration that I need to take in order to get
OpenOffice to exit more cleanly in this situation?

My enviornment:  FC2, OpenOffice 1.1.1


Thanks for any advice,
