Hello Marcin,

I recompiled with the suggested config flags, and didn't get any more useful 
information. However, I experimented some more, and narrowed down the 
behavior better.

The problem seems to involve this file: 
$HOME/.config/autostart/qstart-desktop. No matter what, the first time you 
run openoffice.org-2.4  with a new user (ie no .openoffice.org2 directory) 
the program will hang with the errors I listed when you attempt to open a 
file.

If the qstart.desktop file is left as is (it's a symbolic link 
to /usr/local/openoffice.org-2.4.0/share/xdg/qstart.desktop), the file will 
hang with the errors I listed every time you try to open a file. However, if 
you remove the link, or set it to a non-existant file, the program will work 
after the first time, and work thereafter with no problems.

Cheers,
Dwayne MacKinnon
