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.
