This is likely to be
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=39671 and a raft of
similiar issues. I have it happening even with sun java at the moment,
so I believe it's not gcj specific. Apparently the fix has been
integrated into 1.9.86, and I'm building 1.9.87 at the moment so we'll
see then if it's fixed for us gcj users as well. I'm *sure* this was
working under gcj in the past, so hopefully it'll work again in the
future :-)
