As a further followup - there is a separate quickstart package for 
OpenOffice and KDE, actually 2 of them. The "oooqs2-kde" worked in 
Kubuntu but seems to make no difference in startup speed after the above 
adjustments and the box for "enable quickstart" is still grayed-out in 
OpenOffice. It does however give a convenient way to start OO with 
documents etc. from the tray if you wish.
