Description of problem:
When trying to run OpenOffice, it runs through the ooffice script, displays the
splash screen, the splash screen goes away, but then hangs inside
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin -- from the strace I would guess that it
is waiting for a socket, or something else (using sched_yield() -- BARF). 
Nothing ever seems to happen (deadlock? dead daemon?)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new account (to avoid dot file dependencies)
2. Run OpenOffice, either from the command line or the Gnome menus
3.
	

Actual Results:  [hpa@loris hpa]$ ooffice
Checking for existing user installation ...   ...   NOT FOUND
Performing first-time installation for user ...   mv: cannot stat
`/home/hpa/.sversionrc': No such file or directory
...   DONE
Starting OpenOffice.org ...

<splash screen appears>
<splash screen disappears>

11021 pts/1    R      0:04 /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin


Expected Results:  OpenOffice should have appeared.

Additional info:

This is a plain "Workstation" install of Limbo, explicitly for testing purposes.
 No preexisting software or data existed on this system before the install.
