With the greatest of respect, the reply doesn't answer the OP's
original question.  He asked *WHY* F11 now opens "Full Screen Mode"
instead of "Style and Formatting" under Lucid.

I don't know why, either. There's been a number of changes to the Gnome
desktop under Lucid that appear to be more due to branding than
usefulness - take the window controls being moved from right to left.
Could this be the reason for the change in OpenOffice under Lucid?
