If you can't get openoffice to run as a regular user, you can try
deleting the /tmp/OSL_PIPE_* files.
On one of my slackware 10.2 PCs, the owner and group for
/tmp/OSL_PIPE_1001* (OSL_PIPE for userid 1001) was set to root causing
openoffice to crash silently on startup when run as a regular user.
After deleting the file and re-running openoffice as user 1001, the
/tmp/OSL_PIPE_1001* file was recreated with owner=1001 and group=users
and openoffice ran fine.
I'm not sure why this happened on only one PC. I don't recall using
chown on this file.
