Do they output anything when you start them on the terminal?

I'm currently using both in the exact same setup.  Can you
be more descriptive about what your doing.  Like where is
the ldap user's home directory?  What does 'id' output?

Also, from what I remember, openoffice has to copy a bunch
of stuff into your home directory on initial start.  If your
nfs server is slow that can be a problem.
