Bug Description

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
libreoffice-writer:
  Installed: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages

3) What is expected to happen is when one opens a blank Writer document and immediately logs out, one is prompted to save the document.

4) What happens instead is the file is closed without the prompt. When one logs back in and starts LibreOffice, one gets a prompt about how an "Untitled document" needs recovery.

This does not occur if the document has unsaved changes, then one gets a prompt to save it.
