:/

I gave xprop a go (thanks for that), and couldn't see anything 
particularly suspicious. The only thing that looks related and is unique 
to openoffice is this one:

_MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) = 0xf, 0x1, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0

- but, as I understand it, that means all window furniture should be 
enabled.

Is it possible that this is being misinterpreted?
