$ sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-gtk
...
$ # an each way bet
$ export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
$ export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk

It does help a lot, thanks.
It looks like it needs to depend on openoffice.org-gtk (and the
environment vars) or a particular WM.
The bug was originally posted against openoffice.org as it was with a
specific version running under a particular twm which was more or less
stable. Twm has been part of X11 for while so should be a stable WM.
