After reading your post and some replies, it got me wondering, so, I
upgraded my system.  I now have 1.1.3 and while I am seeing the speed
increase, I am not getting any of the other behavior.  I get the
toolbars and a blank document just like before, and I also can open a
spreadsheet from the word processor.

The only difference is that I round-canned yum long ago and use apt to
update.  But I did confirm that it is version 1.1.3.  So, I would say
it is more likely the way your repository configured OO.o
