[ale] oocalc: a sad story from a oocalc newbie

[Greg Freemyer]

When I hit Cntrl-C my CLI prompt came back, but a OpenOffice splash
screen was still running.

That splash screen is still on my display (3 hours later).  I have not
tried any "kill"s to shut it down yet.

OO 2.3 with OpenSUSE Linux.

FYI: I'm sitting on a Samba Share mounted via CIFS.  I've had OO do
weird things before when I have done this.  It is a pain.
