Each of the main apps can be launched from the openoffice.org menu and with a hot key
Each of the main apps can be launched from the Dock menu

I'm concerned, this is now great... there are only a couple of improvements I'd like. I agree with spiney that it'd be nice if ooo stayed open without any docs open, but I suspect that's an ooo issue, and not a Coool issue? I'd also prefer it if, after choosing to hide the launcher through the dock menu, it didn't show itself if I click on the dock menu (instead of right-clicking), but stayed hidden until I choose 'show launcher again' - seems illogical to have the launcher showing and 'show launcher' still in the dock menu...
