Well, most of MS office startup is done during the system bootup, you can
achieve the same effect for OOo (and I supposed gnome, should somebody

just causes the shared libraries to be loaded. Just search for it on
sourceforge.

There are voices in the street,
And the sound of running feet,
And they whisper the word --
Revolution!
