The two are designed to co-exist well, and I use both versions on my system.

There isn't much log info compiled in release builds. It can help, though,
to run 'openoffice' or 'openoffice1.1' from a terminal window - you may see
information there.
If there is nothing at all and OOo just hangs, there is a good chance that
you have some hung OOo processes around. You should be able to see them
using 'ps -fu $USER | grep soffice.bin'.
You can kill them off using 'killall -9 soffice.bin'. This kills all OOo
processees so don't do this if you have any other OOo windows open :)
(A reboot would clear this problem too, so don't be surprised if switching
off and on helps)
