A quick & dirty workaround at least for x86 and for now is to use cairo and pango from hardy-updates. I apologize for misusing this bug for a sort of a howto:
1. Download the packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/hardy-updates/libcairo2 http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/hardy-updates/libpango1.0-0 2. Unpack them dpkg -x libcairo2_1.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb . dpkg -x libpango1.0-0_1.20.5-0ubuntu1_i386.deb . 3. Copy the content of the resulting usr/lib/ directory somewhere where ld.so won't find it, like sudo cp -r usr/lib /opt/ 4. Load libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 and libcairo.so.2 prior to running ooffice, maybe by placing something like #!/bin/bash LD_PRELOAD=/opt/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0:/opt/lib/libcairo.so.2 \ /usr/bin/ooffice $1 $2 exit 0 as /usr/local/bin/ooffice and making it executable (please replace this wrapper with a better one). It is required to load libpangocairo prior to libcairo, otherwise OpenOffice.org will crash opening the GTK filepicker.
