openoffice.org-1.1.3-5.5.0: bug or feature?

[Arthur Pemberton]

I just yumed my way to the latest FC3 release of OpenOffice 
(BTW...thanks to whoever fixed the paste bug). After yum was all done I 
went ahead and start Calc from the menu (I use KDE). Calc loaded very 
quickly ( I estimate that the splash screen lasted for only about 25% of 
it's previous times). However Calc loaded to this very scary screen. I 
used kSnapshot and uploaded the result: 
http://pembo13.dalive.com/snapshot-oocalc-1.1.3.png . Now normally, 
loading an OpenOffice program from the menu leads to a new document 
being opened up for the approprate app. So I had never before seen this 
screen. Having been in windows for awhile (3.1 to WinME) bad habits die 
slow, so I rebooted the machine. I know I don't have to reboot to 
implement an upgrade but still. Came back up, and got the same result. I 
decided to open a document, since the simple file menu in oocalc was 
active, and it open the file as normal. Was also able to open a new doc etc.

But what I want to know is is thsi new behavior correct? It certainly 
isn't user friendly. I don't won't to go filing  abug report prematurely.

Thank you.
