Brilliant suggestion, Tom. Many thanks for this advice. I will do this on
all 3 of my machines, all running different OS - XP-Home, Vista 64, Vista
32 Business.

I'm sure to report back once I have done this and tested the result.

Hi :)
Just copy&paste or rename the OOo UserProfile from
... openoffice.org/ ...
to
... libreoffice/ ...

You can even copy the user profile to different machines running different
operating systems.
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfiles
All your settings and Extensions and galleries and stuff is stored inside
your user-profile.  Note that if you have other OpenSOurce programs then
their settings are stored in the same folder so you will see things like
... firefox/ ...
... libreoffice/ ...
... thunderbird/ ...
Well, after switching your file-browser to show hidden files&folders you
will see them.
Regards from
Tom :)

That would be nice. I wonder if there's a settings file hidden somewhere in
OO that we could simply locate and copy across to LO (appropriate folder)
and voila, it's done! Of course, BEFORE one uninstalls OpenOffice.

The first time you install LibreOffice with an OOo user profile, that
will be (mostly) imported.

 Yesterday, I installed LO 3.4.5 on another PC here (to replace Open
Office).

What option in the install mechanism would have caused it to have
been installed "with an OOo user profile", Cor?

It certainly didn't pick up the user's OO templates.
