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 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.

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.

Lyx I know, but I don't use it. If you want to try it but don't have enough spce in the image, you could consider using two images with different content!
