Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
This is the edition of Ooo 3.1 that was bundled with Ubuntu karmic final beta. Ubuntu has been updated as of today, presumably to the final release.
The problem is on the first load of the spreadsheet after a boot. The program reports an unexpected error relating to Untitled-1 and crashes. If I call it again it goes into the recovery screen and will successfully recover Untitled -1. At that point the spreadsheet opens but the window is about 2 cm below the top, not it's normal position. If I click on the top bar to move it or on the X in the upper right to close it the top bar turns clear/white, and normal control becomes iffy at best. However, I can still use the File / Exit option to close the sheet. If I then open it again everything works normally. Subsequent calls also work normally until the machine is rebooted.
It appears that the spreadsheet loader or something related to Untitled-1 is corrupted. I have had several crashes on the system, but nothing I can remember specifically enough to relate to this problem. The editor works fine.
Any suggestions as to how I might repair the system? I could re-install it, of course, but that is a fairly major task if it isn't necessary or the simplest / easiest way. Any information that might help me understand the structure or general design would be helpful in the long run.
Thanks for any consideration.

Does moving/removing the ~/.openoffice.org* directories help resolve the problem?
