Please clarify the statement "the system freezes" - is this the entire computer. If so are the keyboard lights blinking ? Alan
The screen with the exception of the mouse cursor would freeze. The cursor could move but could not affect anything. I did not notice if the keyboard lights were flashing. One of the RHN updates seems to have fixed the problem as I can now use OpenOffice as user, not just as root.
Please try current OOo 1.1.0, and reopen if problem still occurs
