[Open Office] Internal quickstarter - ooqstart - question

I build openoffice.org m151 with 
--enable-quickstarter --enable-gtk --enable-kde

I can see  option 'Load OpenOffice.org during system startup' in 'Options - OpenOffice.org - Memory'
but the selection is not stored for a common user. When Options dialog is opened again, checker is 
gone, not selected again. For root it is possible to store it, but has no obvious effect, OOo is not 
started as  'ps ax' revealed.

I discovered in programs dir ooqstart executable and library libqstart_gtk680li.so
There is even  ooqstart desktop file! But when I tried to launch  ooqstart manually:
# ooqstart

** ERROR **: Missing default argument in OOO_EXTRA_ARG
aborting...
Aborted


I had some positive experience with quicksater in milestone 143 it speed up start significantly, but 
for m151 am currently testing seems to be broken.

I have not found virtually any closer documentation about this interesting feature, under which 
conditions is expected to work or how to launch it manually. I'm running KDE on my desktop and 
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen, can I still benefit from  GTK based quick starter?
How this 'load during system startup' functionality is technically done?
Should I put 'ooqstart.desktop' to '~/.kde/Autostart'?
Should I trigger ooffice with some argument to make it aware of already running qstarted OOo?

There is also external project oooqs2 - http://segfaultskde.berlios.de/index.php?content=oooqs2
Are you aware of this project?

So there is the internal quickstarter (ooqstart) - GTK based - and the external quickstarter oooqs2 - KDE 
based. I suppose the internal one would be more efficient then the external one. Am I right?

The runtime option -quickstart is said to be unsupported for OOo2. Is that true for ooo-build patched 
releases too?

Can some clear this issue for me and others curious users? 
Many Thanks
Espinosa
