You might try the suggestions in
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4309.  Apparently,
locking isn't enabled by default.  I just tried setting those
environment variables, and when set the second user to open a file
gets it in read-only mode.

I'm CCing the openoffice list.  Maybe these settings should be enabled
by default?
