My OpenOffice just stopped working too.

It's not what I call a convenient thing.

I opened an sxw file (writer) and it hung on "opening file..." in the
status bar. I killed it, tried again.

When I open it from a terminal it says it found a lock in
.openoffice/1.1.3/.lock resuming existing session.

So I deleted the .lock file

Tried to open a different file and the same thing happens.

If I open 'openoffice' by itself it will give me the limited gui and
menus, as soon as I try to open something (existing, or new) it will
just hang. No cpu usage, no nothing - just not working.

I deleted the .openoffice folder completely, as well as the .sversions
file to force a new-user setup. The command line spewed out that it
was initializing and running the setup.

Attempted to open a file, and pewf. same issue.
