[Bug 379426] [NEW] OpenOffice Writer makes KDE apps unresponsive after copying

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

On Ubuntu 9.04, Jaunty Jackalope, using the standard packages for
OpenOffice (v3.0.1) and Kile (v2.0.81), I have the following problem:
after copying text in OpenOffice Writer, and then returning to Kile,
Kile takes about 7 seconds to redraw itself (i.e., show anything more
than a white window) and become responsive. (But see below for greater
generality.)

Steps to reproduce:
* Open a document in Kile
* Open a document in OpenOffice Writer
* Switch between the two applications, and see that Kile behaves with the expected near-instantaneous speed
* In OpenOffice Writer, select some text and copy it (press Ctrl+C, or right-click and choose "copy")
* Switch to Kile
* Notice that you get to see an all-white window and have to wait for about 7 seconds before Kile is redrawn and does anything.

Generality:
* The same happens with Kate instead of Kile.
* The same happens with OpenOffice Presentation instead of OpenOffice Writer.
* Copying text from any other application (gedit, firefox, evince, ...) does not lead to a slowdown in Kile or Kate.

Thus, it seems that copying in OpenOffice somehow adversely affects KDE-
apps, or at least that small subset of KDE-apps which I use. This ought
not to happen, and is very irritating when you are transforming an ODF-
file bit-by-bit into a LaTeX-file...
