Here is an even better one:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166295

Someone experiencing this problem should re-open this bug. Since I 
can't reproduce it, it doesn't make much sense for me to do it.

Caolan McNamara @ RedHat recommended running this program and seeing
if it does anything unusual:

 	 /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/program/javaldx

On my K12LTSP 4.4.1 desktop at home, this is the ouput (I have the
Sun 1.5.0_03 jre installed)

 	$ /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/program/javaldx
 	/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.03/jre/lib/i386/client:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.03/jre/lib/i386/native_threads:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.03/jre/lib/i386

I also see that Sun has a new jre available (jre-1.5.0_05), I'll package
that up and see if that makes a difference.
