Description dbmoyes 2005-11-21 10:52:27 UTC 
Using flock()/ lockf() instead of physical file locks would mean that they would
be cleared by the OS if the programs are terminated prematurely.  That way, when
restarting OpenOffice, you won't get an annoying error message.

When telling OOffice to continue even though the userdata is locked, the diaglog
box does not disappear, giving the impression of a software crash... Maybe it
did crash... I explicitly killed OOffice and removed the file locks manually
(actually, the entire ~/.open* directory) rather than wait for it to continue
being stupid.
