I have seen something similar (but killing Open office from a terminal
or virtual console worked there just fine). It turned out the problem
was caused by a .mailcap and/or .mime.types created in the user's home
directory by openoffice.org 1.x (one that was referring to
/home/user/.rhopenoffice1.1). After moving/removing those two files,
OpenOffice.org 2.x runs fine here.
