Asunto: Fedora's Open Office forgets settings?
 
I notice that Fedora's Open Office will occasionally reset some of my
preferences and was wondering if anyone else had noticed this.  Here's
what I change on Fedora's OOo 1.1:
 
* Remove all font replacement (Tools/options)
* Uncheck Printing Sets Document modified (Tools/options)
* Uncheck most autoformat/autocorrect options
(Toola/Autocorrect-Autoformat)
* Turn off paperclip, er. "Help Agent" (Tools/options)
 
If I set up OOo1.1 this way, it will remember these settings for a few
sessions.  A few sessions later, OOo 1.1 "forgets" my settings, and resets
all of the above to the defaults, which is really annoying as I can't
STAND autocorrect ruining my chemical formulas. :)
 
Some of my configuration settings ARE remembered - my registration
information, modified keyboard shortcuts, and default document fonts (at
least for writer documents - how can you set a default font for
spreadsheets?).
 
Has anyone else noticed this behavior?  If so, any way to get OOo to
behave properly?  I searched bugzilla on OOo and Fedora and didn't find
anything on my first go.
 
This is a fresh Fedora install, so there aren't any old versions of OOo
config files around to mess things up.
