i wonder if this is the suid problem again - you need to suid OpenOffice or it 
wont work (at least the pre- 1.0 versions ran like this)... 
i had something similiar happen when i tried to run it logged in as myself, 
then discovered it was fine as root. so i suid'ed it and had no problems from 
then on....
