First, the ~/openpoffice config files are -2 for version 2.0, but for
version 3.x they just kept the "2." No, wait ... I think for 3.x they
reverted to no number at all. I don't remember for sure. I now have
3.0.1 Ubuntu-Go version (from Synaptic) and I have both a -2 and a -no
number config file, but the no-number file is older than the -2 file. I
remember that I installed 3.0 from OOo back in the days of Intrepid but
kept the 2.4 Intrepid version side by side. The config file numbering
was weird and counter-intuitive.

Whatever config file you have, you can rename it and OOo will create a
new one next time you launch it. You'll just lose all your custom
settings (toolbars, window sizes, dictionary and autocorrect entries,
extensions, and a few other user things). Whenever something is messed
up this is an easy way to figure out if it is a user configuration
issue or if the problem lies elsewhere.

Second, version 3.x has an automatic check for updates that requires a
net connection. I think you can disable it in Tools > Preferences, but
IIRC it is on by default. If OOo is trying to phone home, this is
probably why.
