Thank you very much! Indeed I use scim-bridge as IM, and that was the
problem: the command "unset GTK_IM_MODULE; ooffice" launched OOo
successfully.

Since I installed "scim-bridge-agent" without
"scim-bridge-client-gtk", currently GTK_IM_MODULE=xim. After I
installed "scim-bridge-client-gtk" and changed GTK_IM_MODULE into
scim-bridge, the problem was solved. It seems that the latest OOo does
not like the xim module.

This problem was not found in previous version of OOo.

Thank you again,
Wang Long
