Open office for mac popup window "restore windows"

Started yesterday.

Every time I go to use OO on my macbook pro.
OO has this window popup

"Restore windows / Don't Restore windows"
The application “OpenOffice.org” was forced to quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?

I hit either button and nothing happens, I have uninstalled OO and it still won't go away.

HELP me please

I'm having no luck with this. If I right click on OpenOffice in the dock, click "show all windows", I can see a number of documents listed in the expose. Are these the docs Open Office is trying to restore? Can they be cleared somehow?

1. Force Quit Open Office

2. Open Terminal

3. rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.openoffice.script.savedState

Cheers!
