Anybody else seen this? I have seen something similar (but killing Open office from a terminal or virtual console worked there just fine). It turned out the problem was caused by a .mailcap and/or .mime.types created in the user's home directory by openoffice.org 1.x (one that was referring to /home/user/.rhopenoffice1.1). After moving/removing those two files, OpenOffice.org 2.x runs fine here. David Jansen
