I'm migrating a bunch of spreadsheets from Debian Lenny/Openoffice to Debian Wheezy/Libreoffice 3.5.x. This is a dedicated setup used by many once-a-year users (who aren't chosen for their familiarity with computers) and, for instance, boots straight into a front end when switched on and shuts down when you close the front end. All driven by a startup script which launches the front end and waits for it to close.

The front end is fundamentally some buttons to launch working sheets and unchanging except that today's date is filled in when it starts, or the user can enter a different date. Mass of macros to handle it all.

Closing the front end is by doc.close()ing in a Goodbye macro but this leaves an soffice.bin process running and you get a 'Program is still running' dialogue box when the machine shuts down; it goes away after a bit but it will alarm the user. I can get rid of that by putting 'stardesktop.terminate' (is 'xdesktop.terminate' preferrred?) in the shutdown macro but then when it next starts it wants to Recover the front end; that's a big no-no.

Under Lenny/Openoffice there isn't this problem, when you've doc.close()d it shuts down happily and when it's next switched on loads the front end without complaint. I've tried doc.setmodified(FALSE) but no joy. I suppose I could get the shutdown macro to save it and the startup script to then delete that and copy the master back but that's pretty horrible. Is there a sensible way to fix this?
