Repeat question: OpenOffice2 on specified display?

[F.J.Zhao]

There's no openoffice in my system., so I take firefox for testing:

$ firefox
        (A firefox windows opened in my current display)
$ Xnest :1 -ac
        (use Xnest to open display :1)
$ firefox -display=:1
        (Another firefox windows opened in my current display, not in Xnest)
$ DISPLAY=:1 forefox
        (A dialog opened in Xnest, saying "Firefox is already running")

I guess that "display" has been processed in specific way by firefox
to make sure that only one instance of firefox is running in the
system, accroding to the test results.
Maybe same for OpenOffice.
