Yes.  It's got something to do with your profile.  the .openoffice.org2
folder in your /home directory.  Make a backup of
your /home/.openoffice.org profile and then completely reinstall
openoffice and let it create a new generic profile.  Once you do that,
it shouldn't give you a problem.  Don't waste your time trying to fix
your java installation as I don't think that was ever the problem and I
ran into the same problem you did a few days ago.

Well, before doing anything drastic, open the template and change it
back to the one it's supposed to be and then see if the changes remain.

Patience yields far greater results than brute force or rage ever could
