Okee, I got it. I first tried a X restart, it didn't help (X is
launched from gdm). Then I noticed that, under enlightenment, the
problem does not occur. This problem manifested itself under Xfce4.
I then tried rebooting, and noticed the text console seems to have
hanged. After the reboot, I started ooffice, and got on stderr:
"libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b"
and then the usual screen appearead, all ran fine. While stuck in the
infinite loop, this message never showed up.
A word of explanation: I use a laptop that I hibernate twice a day. I
suppose that, on the long run, some console or driver was improperly
restored and hanged. This way, ooffice querying some functions stalls
forever. FYI, the following libs are installed to provide openGL
functions:
libgl1-mesa-dri install
libgl1-mesa-glx install
libglu1-mesa install
mesa-utils install
xlibmesa-dri install
xlibmesa-gl install
So, the global context of the problem is a mix of openoffice.org
(using libGL), X for the openGL API, and kernel (hibernate causing
problems with console restore)

Checking with others if I am the only one that can't have some program
running :)
