I had this problem constantly. It turns out that when I launched it the
first time and went through the initial questions I told it to migrate
my settings from 2.4.1. It did so but, unknown to me, there were some
extensions in 2.4.1 that were messed up.

If this turns out to be the source of your problem, then the first
thing to do is to fix 2.4.1 - assuming it is still installed or that
you at least still have the ~/.openoffice.org2 configuration file. If
all you have is the config file, you can go in and manually just rename
the folder containing the old extensions. If you still have it
installed you can go into Tools > Extensions Manager and uninstall them
all.

Then rename the new ~/.openoffice.org folder (they should have named it
openoffice.org3 instead of dropping the number altogether). That will
force OOo 3.0 to go through the startup windows again and, this time,
when it migrates your settings from 2.4.1, it won't migrate any of
2.4.1's extensions. You can easily reinstall them in 3.0 later.
