The job of the kernel on the client is to provide the necessary services that the Xserver needs to display things on the screen. Things like memory management, process management, and filesystem access for loading X modules and fonts. Also, it provides the networking services, so that the graphics commands from the OpenOffice application can actually make it over to the terminal, to be rendered by the Xserver and displayed on the screen. And, the kernel handles your keyboard input, turning those key clicks into codes that the Xserver will then turn into X input events that will get sent across the network, to the server, where OOo is running.
