They should be, but they are not.
When I insert a non-breaking space with control-space, it is not
width-adjusted when I make the paragraph justified.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Why do you want the non-breaking
space to
be width adjustable? What difference does (can) it make? What is the
result
you expect to get that is different from what you do get?
What I get when I insert a non-breaking space by pressing Ctrl-spacebar
is a blank character of fixed width, that is not being taken into
account when justifying is done. From what you describe below, you seem
to have a version of OpenOffice that works correctly, and that inserts
extra gaps around non-breaking spaces as well.
In the example document, the "gap" inserted by the justification process
surrounds a non-breaking space and the entire thing (the "gap") is
regarded
as a single character as evidenced by the fact that it is "jumped over
" by
a single left/right-arrow.
In the example document that Kirill posted, in the first line, I see
only one gap that is inserted by the justification process, and several
non-breaking spaces that are _not_ surrounded by gaps, but have the
width of only one character.
This is in OpenOffice 2.1.
There is no need for the non-breaking space to be manually
width-adjustable, but it would be nice if, for width-adjusting purposes,
it would be regarded as space instead of non-printing character with
fixed width.
