"Restore Windows" box won't go away

Running LibreOffice 3.4.4 (last update 11/1/11) on Apple MadGook Pro
A few days back while using LibreOffice I had to shut down because it froze while I was importing (cut & paste) some information with a photo from a web page.
I had to use the Apple Force Quit to get LibreOffice to close.
After reopening LibreOffice I got a popup window entitled "Restore Windows," which didn't work (tried the "Restore Windows" button.
Since it didn't work I clicked on the "Don't Restore Windows" button figuring it would end in the window closing--it didn't.
Since then, whenever I open LibreOffice the "Restore Windows" popup opens and stays open. When I close whatever I was working on--Text Document or Spreadsheet--the popup remains.
LibreOffice will not restart until I clear the "Restore Windows" box from active memory.
To clear the window I must do another Forced Quit.
Please let me know what I need to do to get this problem to go away.

Hardware:
  Model Name: MacBook Pro

  Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz

There's a workaround in
Bug 39007 - Persistent "Restore Windows" dialog won't disappear,
disables key functionality.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39007#c20

Hope this helps...
