Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Linux wilbert-desktop 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 20:57:48 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
openoffice.org 1:3.0.1-
After upgrading from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.4, starting openoffice writer will freeze the system, the mouse will still move but stutters. Music will keep playing but stutters. Nothing will work but a hard reset.
The following item seems related but didn't help me:

The system will freeze with other actions in ooffice tools, for example:
openoffice calc -> Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> Java-> parameters
Opening a fileof RTF type will show the contents, doing anything will cause the freeze
Opening ODT will show an empty oowriter screen and freeze immediately
Editing section "Device" in xorg.conf prevents the freeze when using Driver "vesa" in stead of "ati" or add Option "NoAccel" "true".

Does moving/removing ~/.openoffice.org* resolve the problem? This is almost certainly an OOo bug since it can't really do anything that should be able to freeze the system, so it is probably some sort of an issue with the kernel or xorg. I'm not sure what though.
