Open office takes a relatively long time to load.  It would be nice that if
during the load time it would be possible to minimize the splash screen so that
you can continue to use other applications. As it is right now, during load
time, the OO splash screen pretty much takes up the center of your screen and
will not allow other applications to be in the forefront.

May we could change the focus behavior.
Comment 3 Unknown 2001-11-02 14:29:15 UTC 
Would it be possible to let the window manager have control of the
window that the splash screen is contained in, This way the splash
screen could be moved around the screen or minimized.
Comment 4 Frank Schönheit 2001-11-02 16:10:41 UTC 
I agree that changing this annoying "always-on-top" property of the 
window can (should! :) be the solution.

A splash-screen with a minimize button is weird - the real problem are 
applications which think their splash screen is so important that they 
do not allow the user to work with other apps while the splscrn is 
active. Unfortunately, OOo seems to fit into this category of way too 
egocentric applications ...
