openoffice.org 1.0: Close = Exit?

Yesterday I downloaded the openoffice.org 1.0 binaries. As always with SO/OO, 
the installation went without any hitch (first as root wth the -net option, 
than as me/myself/I).

Playing around a bit, I found the close-function to be somewhat overdone: 
Closing a document with 'File - Close' shuts down the entire program (like 
'File - Exit'). This seems to apply to any application and to empty documents 
as well as to ones I have changed (in this case, prior to exiting the 
program, the usual save dialog comes up).

I'm running Redhat Linux 7.1 on a P III, upgraded to quite recent stuff 
(kernel 2.4.18, XFree 4.2.0, KDE 3.0.0). The problem seems to be no KDE 
issue, because it even appears with only an xterm or xfce is running.
BTW, StarOffice 5.2 or 6.0 beta didn't show it.

Anyone observed that too?
Klaus
