Hi Robert,
This has worked for me in all recent versions of Ubuntu:
In terminal, do gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
Add line as shown below for, for instance, 127.0.0.1 galaxy localhost 
galaxy.(none) below
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 galaxy
4) and add a line so it looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 galaxy
127.0.0.1 galaxy localhost galaxy.(none)
5) save
6) now LibreOffice.org Writer and Calc open fast when the network 
connection is attached.
For anyone new reading this. replace "galaxy" with whatever you have 
named your computer.

I'm running LibreOffice 3.4.6 OOO340m1 (Build:602) on Debian Squeeze.
The progress bar on the splash screen stops part-way during startup for about 10 seconds. During 
this time LO sends a request of some sort over the network connection (lights flash on router) 
every 2 seconds, 5 times in all. LO then completes startup.
This happens
- with the splash screen turned off in /etc/libreoffice/sofficerc (the pause and network requesting 
still happen)
- when launching LO by itself, or when opening a Writer or other LO document through a file manager
- with Java RE option on or off
With an LO document already open, there is no pause when opening a second LO document. The pause 
only occurs during startup.
How to stop LO from sending requests over the network on startup, so that it opens without the 
10-second pause?
