Since I haven't experienced any differences with the new version (avoiding quickstarter anyway from our previous experiences), I silently updated the wiki, and didn't also post here. Actually, I had noticed from the changelog that this new version should give an undistorted startup banner, but not even that was different for me. Funny that it is different for you. From the list of packages that a full install of openoffice.org would pull in I don't see any obvious candidate. The problems with quickstarter occured for me only within LXDE, when I opened OO from the menu with the quickstarter shortcut already in the panel - outside LXDE, OO remained intact. So I just leave quickstarter disabled - since I'm usually running OO within debbie, I don't need it anyway.
