Mikhail,

I don't use OOo on FreeBSD, so I can't help you directly.

However, I see similar behaviour on Kubuntu Linux. If I double click on
some files that are associated with OOo, I see the splash screen and it
hangs forever. If I start OOo from the command line without any
parameters, it works correctly - I then open the file from the menu.
Maybe that's a workaround for you for now.

I haven't seen any bugs on the OOo site that seem to match this. I'll
try to get a reproducable case and report it.
