I'm seeing the same thing here (Jaunty Alpha openoffice.org-impress
1:3.0.1-7ubuntu1)
I'm running Gnome (apparently with the Mist theme)
I think what's happening here is that when you click 'Open an existing
presentation' it goes down the list of presentations it has seen and
tries to do something with them; even if you turn preview off - so I'm
not entirely sure what it's doing.
This includes if the document was a URL and hence half way around the
world on a slow website - and it blocks while doing it with no feedback
until it completes. (I can see the IP of the host open in time wait
after it finished and I haven't been to it in months).
Frankly I'm tempted to think that going off to a website on something
like this is actually dangerous; your only trying to open an existing
office document - you don't expect for it to start opening network
connections.
The first time I opened OOo presentation today it also hung for a good
10+ seconds selecting the 'from templates' option on there - so again
I'm thinking it's trying to cache something (it's now doing it in a few
secs).
This is on a Core 2 1.66GHz with 3GHz RAM
