Harold, I sort of agree with Kirill on the corrupt user profile - I had had this issue on a friends laptop running Linux and OOo 2.0.4, and later 2.1. The issue was that it worked fine for user A, but not for user B on the same machine. So, I think it had something to do with user profiles. Unfortunately, I do not remember what we did to sort this out for 2.1 (was too late in the night, and the gray matter was in abeyance - not to mention the fact that senility is fast catching up with me).
