you might try removing the /home/user/.openoffice file and letting oo reset
its defaults from the .2 version. I had to do that when I tried using a
backport for sarge. It should set up a new .openoffice files and repopulate
from the factory settings. I have also had to do this with other apps such as
kde desktop as well.
