[plug] Opening OpenOffice Files

[Jason Posavec]

Hi Gavin.

I never thought about whether the problems resurfaced after an OOo 
upgrade, or an Ubuntu upgrade. I'm running gnome, but I'm fairly certain 
the change I've previously made was in OOo settings somewhere. Where in 
gnome do I make apps load unfocused?
