If you're referring to just the different icon theme (which I also
rather dislike), you can change this by opening OpenOffice.org, then
selecting "Options" from the "Tools" menu. Then, in the "OpenOffice.org"
section, select the "View" item and you can change the icon theme using
the "Icon size and style" option. The "Default" icon theme is the icons
as shipped from upstream. You could also try the other ones there such 
as Crystal (which is meant to be KDE-like) and such.

If you really want to remove it, you can simply `yum remove
openoffice.org-core` as root, as all of OpenOffice.org depends on these
core components and thus will be removed with them.

Hope that helps.
