Hi Matthew and all, I experienced the same problem here and found out where this came from:
The culprit was the stupid Samsung SCX-4200 (printer+scanner) installer, which does a lot of ugly things (renaming the soffice.bin file to soffice.bin.bin and making the original file a wrapper which then calls soffice.bin.bin setuid root). Doing such things is completely irresponsible! I'll write an email to Samsung soon and encourage everyone experiencing this problem to do so.
