No answer to your questions, because I have only got WinXP. But other ideas:
You find the version information in the file program\version.ini 
(Windows here). It is a textfile, so it should be easily displayed.

You can edit the text, which is shown in the title bar of a running LO. 
This string is in share (that of top level)\registry\brand.xcd. It is 
node "Product" and therein node "ooName". So you can enter the 
information you want to see. That is shorter than opening Help>About.

In Windows I get the information via context menu from the file 
properties. Perhaps there exist something similar for Linux?

Kind regards
Regina
