I use openoffice quite often now on linux (Fedora Core 2). But each time it takes a while to start. If I just close a document and not the main window then it stays in memory and my next document loads very fast. But an empty window remains and shows up in my task bar and adds to the clutter. Isn't there any way to keep openoffice in memory without having the empty window open? Something like in a taskbar applet form? Thanks amit
