This is entirely possible in OW, and there are two ways of accomplishing it, depending on if you have your Workspaces set to auto-save or not.
If they DO Auto-save:
When browsing, if you have a number of tabs open and you are going to quit OmniWeb, close all the windows before quitting. In other words, click the red button, (confirm that you want to close multiple tabs if OW asks) then when no windows are open, quit OmniWeb. The next time you start, it will open in a single window with just your homepage - where you can optionally set your homepage to blank in OW's preferences. The rule of thumb in this scenario is: If you quit with multiple tabs open then OW will open with those tabs the next time, but if you quit with no windows open OW will startup with only one tab open.
If you don't need OW to auto-save your workspaces:
Open OW's preferences, set the homepage to blank, start up a single window of OW and take a snapshot of the single blank page. Next, go to Workspaces > Show all workspaces and UNCHECK the option to auto-save workspaces. Then go back to OW's preferences and set the homepage back to where you want it. What you lose in OW saving your states between browsing sessions you gain in that no matter where you were when you quit, OW will start up with this single blank page.
