There is code that calls a gdk function before it is initialized that caused the hang. I have tested a patch to OpenOffice that corrects the problem. I will be contacting the author of the patch to see if he believes it is good enough to upload with the patch and if so will try to make another upload of OpenOffice by the end of the week.
