Sorry for not being clear, i'm connection to a powerpc box from an i386. I've
tried some combinations:

X server | ooffice box | result
    i386 |  ppc        | failure
    i386 |  sparc      | no problem
    ppc  |  i386       | no problem

Also note that openoffice is trying to probe the extensions on the wrong 
display!
