Bug#534753: openoffice.org-common: openoffice.org not starting up, hangs every time until javaldx killed manually

[Julian Mehnle <julian@mehnle.net>]

Package: openoffice.org-common
Version: 1:3.0.1-9
Severity: important

I'm running Debian Testing.  Today I upgraded OpenOffice from 2.4.1, which
was working fine, to 3.0.1.  Now I cannot start OpenOffice.  It just hangs
with no UI interaction or CPU usage.  I then incidentally noticed that
there's a javaldx process lingering around that, when killed manually,
lets OpenOffice resume starting up normally.

Yes, I have sun-java6-{bin,jdk,jre} installed.  I don't have the
openoffice.org package installed, though, as I'm not using OO Base.

I tried removing both

  ~/.openoffice.org2/user/config/javasettings_Linux_X86_64.xml
  ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/config/javasettings_Linux_X86_64.xml

several times as suggested by various bug reports and forum posts, to no
avail.

Please help!  I'll happily do anything I can to assist in debugging this.
