OpenOffice2 on specified display?

This is a bit esoteric, but maybe someone has an answer :-)

I have a dual head system (two desktops, not Xinerama). I can start an
OpenOffice application on either desktop by either setting the DISPLAY
variable or using the "-display" option to ooffice2.

BUT: Once one OpenOffice2 window is open, all subsequent windows will
open on the same display. OpenOffice2 seems to pay no further attention
to the DISPLAY variable or to the "-display" command line option. I've
been through all the configurable options I can find in OpenOffice, no
joy.

Does anyone know how I can have one OpenOffice2 window on one display
and another window on another display?

Regards, K.
