Generally speaking, apps on Unix tend to store local settings in a hidden directory (folder) in the user's home directory (folder) so different users can have different settings even though the app is installed in a central/global location.

I would care because that invisible folder is ~300 MB in size and it's not obvious to the user that he should get rid of it when deleting OOo in order to remove the software. It's not a settings folder, m'dear, it's the actual application that's being hidden, so that it seems as if the OOo.app is a nice Mac OS X-like application.
