How to reproduce :

- Run the Live CD of Ubuntu Hardy RC.
- In the examples folder, open oo-maxwell.odt
- Right-click a formula and click "edit".
- It says that the file is read-only and asks whether I want to edit a copy, 
click "ok".
- Right-click a formula and click "object".
- Click on the last tab, called "Macro".
- It says "OpenOffice.org requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform 
this task. Please install a JRE and restart OpenOffice.org.".
- Click "ok". The same dialog reappears immediately.
- Click "ok" again. Reappears again.
- Repeat. Forever.

No way to get rid of it nicely, have to reboot (or kill OpenOffice for those 
who know how to).
100% reproducible.

My optional story:
As a science-oriented guy, when I ran the Live CD, the first thing that 
attracted me was the example "Maxwell" document. When I saw the nice formulas, 
I wanted to modify them. And so far I did not find how to do it, it is not 
obvious :-( Everybody in my case will right-click the formula, look for the 
right tab, and get stuck on this blocking bug. That is to say: many people will 
get this bug, please fix it quickly before Hardy release !
