I first started out with kwrite and kate because they were easier.  But then I 
realized that in a hetrogeneous environment better get used to an editor that 
is available for both Windows and Linux so that I have my favorite editor 
available no matter where I go.  I decided to learn XEmacs.  Yes a bitch to 
learn in the beginning, but within a few weeks I hate every other editor in 
teh world!!

Yes, I agree.  I installed OO on my computer and uninstalled it within 
half-an-hour.  Too disappointing.  I would wait for a few more years (if 
Linux survives a few more years of course) to come back to Office suites on 
Linux.  For me, MS Office still is the best choice.  (Although I don't do 
much Word Processing at all).

From the Klipper icon in the task bar, I decided to disable actions.  Yes what 
you are describing is VERY annoying and should be turned off be default.   We 
make so much fun of Microsoft, but believe me, this Klipper feature of 
popping up in the middle of your work is at least 3 times more annoying than 
the famour annoying Mr Klippy in MS Office (which BTW is turned off by 
default in Office XP).
