I have been seeing this problem for a long time. For me, it is only ever triggered when I "click" on a menu item. Mostly the "File" menu item. However, as I read this comment, I froze it up on the "Tools" menu, as suggested.
I have nVidia driver (commercial), using "Twinview" with an amd_64 running the generic version of OOo (not a specific SuSE version). This has been happening with upgrades of SuSE, OOo, and nVidia. Nothing seems to handle it. From watching this thread, I'm suspect of non-SuSE versions. The system doesn't actually freeze though. You (I) can connect via ssh, and see that what is happened is that the Xorg thread is using all CPU making keyboard, etc. un-responsive. ssh session seems to be full speed though. All I ever have to do is kill -s 09 Xorg (from another PC, ssh'ed into frozen machine) and system comes back. Interesting part is that when I re-open the OOo calc sheet, the recovery wizard comes up, and shows documents that I ~had~ closed that it must have thought was still open. I'm going to try and only access the menu items with keyboard shortcuts, instead of mouse clicks. I'm suspect that it is the original "click" on the menu item (not even enough time for 'release' of mouse) that is causing Xorg to loop, blocking other processes.
