My preferred solution would be an implementation that doesn't block
startup/display of the requested document. I guess that getting notified ASAP
about potentially corrupt documents is a good thing, because the user can take
actions early, before the error becomes unrecoverable or cascades for some
reason. It seems reasonable to block editing if a file with recovery info is
opened until DR is decided, but being able to read the last saved version
should be possible without the decision. 

Also, I brought up 0) because part of the problem seems to be that in my
experience sometimes LO thinks it crashed when in fact it didn't. As I said, I
usually only touch documents in MS Office, yet I'm still regularly faced with
DR, although there shouldn't have been any modifications and I exit LO clean.
(This would deserve a separate bug, but as it's non-deterministic, I can't give
much details unfortunately :( ). This means that in some cases I want to work
on the same document without being interrupted by DR, because I know there is
no need for recovery.
