Bug#451788: openoffice.org: openoffice locks graphic video ???

[mds <reportbug@helices.org>]

Package: openoffice.org
Version: 2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch2
Severity: normal


I have now experienced this three (3) times; so, it is chronic :<
However, it is intermittent.

Sometimes, when opening and/or manipulating an XLS created on winders;
the desktop freezes.  The mouse pointer moves; but, no alt-tab; no
menus; no ctrl-f<keys>; nothing.

When I ssh into this box, the CLI works fine.  I restart gdm; and I kill
gdm; but, the frozen desktop video remains on the screen.

So far, when this happens, the only solution is a full system reboot.

What do you think?
