two different openoffice icons when opened differently

If I leave my two OO.o windows open, then kill and restart docky, I only have one icon once docky comes back up

What type of 'document' are you opening. How are you opening it?

I'm going out on a limb here and saying your first 'document' that you open is not a word file (spreadsheet, presentation, whatever it is). As such, this is the correct behavior. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmmm.... I can't seem to reliably duplicate this bug (at least not for a screencast). The behavior, however, used to manifest itself when I would open an ODT document (via GNOME Do) and then open (again via GNOME Do) "OpenOffice.org Word Processor".

There was a previous bug where opening OO.org via a document made duplicate icons. This was fixed several revisions back in Docky. I think you just hadn't updated Docky yet.

Actually, no, I am using the latest docky from ppa in lucid, where that bug is fixed. If I open two ODT files, the awful-looking, scaled-up OO.o icon merely gains another running indicator dot.

I have attached a screencast. The two significant points are:
a) after FIHRR.odt finishes loading, there is an awful, scaled-up OO.o icon in docky
b) after OpenOffice.org Word Processor comes up, there is a nice-looking, not-scaled OO.o Writer icon in docky as well.

Then problem is OpenOffice is a bit tricky. We are waiting for 5 seconds to get OpenOffice in a proper state to be recognized. In your case this time isnt enough, because the document takes very long to load.

All right! Thanks for looking into this!

This bug is not fixed.

I am staring at my dock and it has the following:

1) OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet - this has 2 windows attached to it
  a) metrics.ods - oo.org calc
  b) mobilemediar06.csv - oo.org calc
2) metrics.ods - OpenOffice.org Calc

The icon for group 1 is what I call 'normal', ie the calc icon. The icon for group 2 is the 'generic' oo.org blue document icon.

Same problem as original submitter. I have no clue how I actually got into this state but here it is.

Ok I figured it out, but it is an odd one...

If I start opening the file and then switch to another virtual desktop, it will open the oo.org window on the 'new' desktop. When this happens I get the 2nd icon.

If I open it and stay on the original desktop I only have 1 icon.

Either a) you have found an additional (and more reliable) way to trigger this bug, or b) you have found a different bug. I couldn't say which, but this is not the way that this bug has always been triggered for me. I tested, though, and this behavior also manifests itself on my system.

fixed with bzr1379

Accepted docky into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
