The terminals connect via xdcmp/X11.
I suppose you meant 'xdmcp'. What linux distribution? What terminal server/client versions? Does it only happen with OOo, or do other applications also experience the same problem? Have you checked the network bandwidth? Given that xdmcp uses no encryption and no compression (and therefore is inherently insecure) that's the first place that I'd look. Second place would be to see if the terminal server & client station has sufficient memory, and/or pixmap caching issues. As an experiment, you might want to try NX/FreeNX instead on a few terminals and see if that works (secure + compression).
