Afaik that's a feature for all "tools" of the ooo suite: When there was an alteration (or a document was created) the save button is clickable _and_ by this you have the information that the alteration was not saved yet. After saving and before another alteration the save button is faded out. oowriter, oobase, ooimpress and oodraw do this as expected, but oocalc does _not_! Hitting ctrg-s each minute isn't really nice so it would be great - and maybe not much work too - to fix it.

This works perfectly fine for me. Which desktop environment and OOo icon set are you using?
Um... I'm not sure about the OOo icon set, I guess the "standard one". I didn't make any changes. But: the problem is _oocalc_, not oowriter! I hope this gives an answer to your question: atti@magic ~ $ emerge -pv openoffice gdm [ebuild U ] sys-auth/consolekit-0.3.0-r2 [0.2.10] USE="pam -debug -doc% -policykit%" 385 kB [ebuild R ] app-office/openoffice-3.1.1 USE="bash-completion cups dbus eds gnome gstreamer gtk opengl pam (-aqua) -binfilter -debug -java -kde -ldap -mono -nsplugin -odk -templates" LINGUAS="de -af -ar -as_IN -be_BY -bg -bn -br -brx -bs -ca -cs -cy -da -dgo -dz -el -en -en_GB -en_US -en_ZA -eo -es -et -eu -fa -fi -fr -ga -gl -gu -he -hi_IN -hr -hu -id -it -ja -ka -kk -km -kn_IN -ko -kok -ks -ku -lt -mai -mk -ml_IN -mn -mni -mr_IN -nb -ne -nl -nn -nr -ns -oc -or_IN -pa_IN -pl -pt -pt_BR -ru -rw -sa_IN -sat -sd -sh -sk -sl -sr -ss -st -sv -sw_TZ -ta -ta_IN -te_IN -tg -th -ti_ER -tn -tr -ts -uk -ur_IN -uz -ve -vi -xh -zh_CN -zh_TW -zu" 13,682 kB [ebuild R ] sys-auth/pambase-20090620.1-r1 USE="consolekit* cracklib sha512 -debug -gnome-keyring -mktemp -passwdqc (-selinux) -ssh" 0 kB [ebuild U ] gnome-base/gdm-2.20.10-r2 [2.20.9-r1] USE="consolekit%* pam -accessibility -afs -branding -debug -dmx -gnome-keyring -ipv6 -remote (-selinux) -tcpd -xinerama" 3,848 kB

I just corrected the summary, don't blame me... it was altered by someone else!
Ok, I can reproduce that, could you please file that upstream: http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html
ok: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1072
Please remove the link above! This is the _right_ link: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=107289
Here is the Novell bugreport. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556125 Bug 556125 - Make the save icon behavior configurable in the Options dialog
Hmm this is fixed in 3.3 and later. So closing as fixed.
