I use a dead key with a custom /usr/lib/X11/locale/lt_LT.UTF-8/Compose
file to input Lithuanian accented letters.  This works in all X
programs; it needs a little workaround (export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim) for
Gtk2 programs.  It does not work in OpenOffice.

Some investigation revealed that my dead keys start to work if I change
LC_ALL to lt_LT.UTF-8 before starting OpenOffice.  Apparently the shell
script /usr/bin/openoffice does some sort of locale clobbering to work
around OpenOffice bugs.  This workaround breaks in my environment.

Dear openoffice.org user,

Thanks for your interest in OO.org and the bug report you have contributed.

Your bug report [0] was done for a version which is now quite old (pre
version 2.0.0).

During the last 6 weeks I sent 3 requests to update this bug report, and verify
that this bug still exists with a more up to date version of OO.org.

Since the bug is quite old, and I didn't get any response regarding this bug, 
I'm closing it. I'm using the current unstable version for proving version info.

If you'll find this bug to still exist in a future version of OO.org, please 
reopen the bug and specify the affected version.. Let me know if you need help 
with this process.
