In all seriousness, I don't think that I am being unreasonable when I
expect a program to shut itself down cleanly. When I write programs I
strive to make them do this. I expect nothing less from an office
suite as nice as OO.
If anybody has any useful suggestions regarding how I can configure OO
to do what I asked for, I'd love to hear these. OTOH, I simply am not
interested in advice which is grounded in the assumption that I should
have to do tedious work for the computer.
