Please excuse my low level of expertise, but I've never understood why OpenOffice is the only program affected by this networking bug. The only reason I can think of is that OpenOffice is a bigger, more complex, full-featured program than any of the others -- so that it basically uses any given resource (network, memory, processor, etc.) more intensively than, say, Eye of Gnome or Totem Movie Player needs. But as I mentioned, OpenOffice has this same networking problem even in Windows XP. Is it possible that OpenOffice was never designed for network use? I'm confused.
