OO.o is definately coming up quicker. Takes about 20 seconds
which is noticably better. Also If I close and open OO writer it takes
about 5 seconds. I see that the math editor is not included so I got
it using snyaptic, which, by the way, has a nicer look, from squeeze.
However this is not sufficient to get all the math fonts needed, even
for some simple partial differential equations, so I also got
openoffice.org on squeeze. This did not seem to make a difference
with timings. Equations look good now.

Using "ctrl up" did not make full screen and my key definitions did
not work. So I have to go check .xbindkeysrc. Not to worry, I have a
copy of the one I was using somewhere and will try it later.

Thanks again for the improvements.
