You can have a look at ~/.xsession-errors, but I am not too optimistic
about this since you do not even get any error message when you start
the program directly from the command line.
It may help to use strace on the program like this:
strace -f -o oo-strace.txt ooffice
This will log all system calls in the file oo-strace.txt. The strace
file will be too long to be posted here, but maybe you can upload it
somewhere so that we can have a look. If that is not possible then you
can post the just end of the file, the last 50 lines or something like
that. (run "tail -n50 oo-strace.txt")
