On the odd occasions when I've shut down from gnome without stopping all 
the applications, oOo has always saved the open documents, and, on 
re-opening oOo, has re-presented them for re-instatement at the point 
they had reached (i.e. all work to date is saved, not just up to the 
last autosave 10 mins ago - cool!  I'm talking of v2.0.1.  Also no 
problems with any other software being killed off in this way.  Using 
Fedora 3 and 4, oOo 2.0.1,, Firefox 1.5.1 and 1.0.
