Whenever I open OpenOffice.org writer in my fluxbox setup, the

options (File, Edit, View, Insert, etc), rather than the window
frame with the minimize, maximize, and close options in the top
right corner. To get the view of the top window frame, I need to
pull it down via the alt + mouse-drag, and then maximize. Is there
a way to set it up so that it opens up with a correct view of the
top frame being on top, rather than hidden above out of sight?

Yes, OpenOffice.org does not open with a neatly maximized screen by
default, and not just in fluxbox.
It does open maximized with the, apparently undocumented, --maximize
option.

/usr/bin/soffice --maximize

Thanks for the suggestion. I had been using the command oowriter to
open it. I tried your suggestion, and other combinations (in
my .wmdrawerrc file), and find now that it opens showing the top window
bar, but it covers the lower panel until I hit the maximize button
(which moves the program up). This is a bit better, I guess.

It's a somewhat fickle program. Anyway, it's just a minor annoyance.
