I am unable to reproduce the problem on my configuration.

Could you check with this command is the window exists:
 xwininfo -root -tree | grep VCLSalFrame

Here, I get something like that:
     0x2c00012 "VCL ImplGetDefaultWindow": ("VCLSalFrame" "OpenOffice.org 3.1") 
 2552x1050+1152+0  +1152+0
           0x2c0066a "Ouvrir": ("VCLSalFrame" "OpenOffice.org 3.1")  
672x350+0+0  +1426+454
           0x2c0001c "Sans nom 1 - OpenOffice.org Writer": 
("VCLSalFrame.DocumentWindow" "OpenOffice.org 3.1")  1058x855+0+0  +1800+31

You  should  get  "Open"  instead  of  "Ouvrir"  since  your  locale  is
en_US.UTF-8. Then, use the following command :
 xwininfo -id 0x2c0066a -all

Replace 0x2c0066a  by the actuel value  in your case.  The output should
give use some information.
