I also tried Quickstarter in LXDE, and it indeed let me launch everything from the top panel, but when I then started OO from the regular menu, it first came with different theming than those I had selected, and at the second attempt, it did not start at all (from LXDE, no problem within debbie). Even disabling quickstarter (via debbie) and closechroot didn't help, and I had to reboot twice to have everything working again. (At the first reboot I had even Maemo malfunctioning, weird background and no menu - perhaps I'm seeing a hardware problem, though now it is OK again...)
I guess I have to the check the wiki more often!
I had installed the OO programs using synaptic which
recommends a few more programs than what is mentioned in the wiki.
I also installed a couple others. Not sure if they made any difference in
regards to the skewed banner. I can check.

Some other differences:
The OO banner now does not appear at all in LXDE.
OO writer now starts up in a little under 30 seconds using
Quickstarter. Took less time in an earlier version.
Now, takes about 45 seconds when I open OOwriter outside LXDE.

I've had no indication of Maemo malfunctioning. However, some strange things I see when starting up LXDE: the side panels initially flicker on and off a few times before finally becoming stable. I also sometimes get a different icon for home. (a folder or a house). The latter usually doesn't happen if I do a closeroot before restarting LXDE. The color theme is different when starting OO outside LXDE. Goes from a white (for LXDE) to a brown (outside LXDE).

Also, I opened and closed OOwriter 3 times (outside LXDE) without seeing any problem.
