Thanks for the suggestion. I had been using the command oowriter to open it. I tried your suggestion, and other combinations (in my .wmdrawerrc file), and find now that it opens showing the top window bar, but it covers the lower panel until I hit the maximize button (which moves the program up). This is a bit better, I guess.

It's a somewhat fickle program. Anyway, it's just a minor annoyance.
