Comment 52 for bug 424132

Note to people still experiencing this issue: the openoffice.org-kde update doesn't appear to work properly (two clean installs, to machines, same problem, same fix). A remove and reinstall seems to sort it. Specifically this was done at the command line, may well work with kpackagekit, if not close Openoffice and do

sudo apt-get purge openoffice.org-kde && sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-kde

First time the file browser opens after the update there is a little lag, after that it all works as expected.
