For those having the problem where Open Office apps appear ever so briefly 
after the splash finally goes away...

In /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.0/program/soffice
--------------------------------------------------
# set -x

unset SESSION_MANAGER <<<<< ADD THIS LINE

# resolve installation directory
sd_platform=`uname -s`
case $sd_platform in
------------------------------------------------
and the problem goes away.

Another tip is to 
-----------------------------------
PATH="$sd_prog":$PATH
export PATH
rm -f $HOME/OpenOffice.org1.0/user/psprint/pspfontcache <<< ADD THIS LINE
# execute soffice binary
# there is a bug in solaris sh that prevents the use of "$@"
-------------------------
and your fonts will be more pretty and shiney.  The font cache whacks out 
the hinter apparently,  so toast it anew every time you start OO.


Ahhhh, the joys of strace......
