Hi I don't know if this is what your after but we have a similar problem with OOo and LTSP.
The problem we were seeing was that OOo seemed not to shut down correctly, thus leaving a lock file in tmp. As we didn't have the opertunity to do a clean fix for the problem the hack was a script entitled "repair-open-office.sh" (Details bellow, alter version of 00o to suit) if a user found they could not start OOo then they run this script that removes the lock and clears the /tmp dir of all those users tmp files. Not nice I know but it works for us. We run LTSP in a Grammar School in Linconshire UK, and have had this problem for years. We've used Red Hat, Suse, but have now settle on Deb' Sarge. and it runs lovely. We also wrote a script to fix the default profile in use problem with firefox. Again a dirty hack but it works well. We have four LTSP servers and one NFS/NIS server. So I placed the new scripts on /home (The NFS mount) and altered our icewm menu to run /home/repair-firefox.sh instead of firefox, and added repair-open-office.sh to the office menu we had created. Then uploaded the menu to all 4 LTSP servers. Job done! The kids can see repair open office in the menu and never even know about the firefox default profile problem.
