I've been having exactly the same experience when I am running the latest
OpenOffice2.0 Beta from Fedora Core 4. Since I did not have this problem
with previous beta versions of OpenOffice (Fedora Core 4 gets a newer beta
version every once in a while), I suspected that OpenOffice is broken, and
never in my wildest dreams suspected that something was wrong with Ctwm...
But since you checked a different window manager and it worked, you must
be right.

The behavior I see: when I try to use the right mouse button to get the
context menu, no menu pops up, but I get the impression of a very brief flash
near the mouse cursor (it might be a window being painted and then removed,
but it's too quick to tell). I did not try to run a different window manager
and see if the problem goes away. Frankly, I'd rather give up OpenOffice
than give up Ctwm :-)
