Agreed.

There is _nothing_ that is more important than having the system work as
it should. And such an easily changable user component such as a theme
should be utterly incapable of bringing any system or application down
to its knees. This looks like a poor design issue inside of
OpenOffice.org.

Alternatively, I have found that a (better, IMHO) workaround for me is
to simply use Abiword and Gnumeric.
