Do a "strings" command on all the OOo binaries and grep for ip

It's not going to be in the OO binary or everyone would be seeing
this. My guess is that the addresses are coming from ~/.recently-used
which several gnome aps use to create a list of recently used file
names. In OO these show up at the bottom of the File menu. If you
end up with some remote URL's listed in the .recently-used file then
many apps will try to visit them when they start up.
I don't know if there is a way to control what gets saved in the list,
but you can always clean it out manually and see if that speeds up the
OO startup.
Yes! I just removed the file and oowriter started up at its usual speed.
I have no idea at all where those addresses came from because they were
not listed in the file - but removing it has fixed things.
Thanks everyone for your advice.
