Tried that earlier but it did not help.  I have tried killing them from 
the System Monitor and from the terminal using kill -9 PID I see them 
disappear but 15 seconds later they are back with a different PID.

OO seems to run OK but it is effecting other things I want to do on my 
system.  I installed LAMP and it reported some errors regarding OO.  The 
install completed and the components work ok but still I would like to 
resolve this matter.

Thanks,  Jim
