Bug Description

After installing Xubuntu 7.04 and upgrading and also, after installing 7.10 Tribe5 and upgrading,
on both systems OpenOffice wont start under user that can administer the system.

However, if I try to run is as user account (on 7.04) with no privileges to administer the system, Ooo starts and works!

Steps to reproduce: Install Xubunutu, Install firestart. Upgrade system, Install the res of the Open office, Open office will not start.

Could you please check if your user is the owner of the ~/.openoffice.org2 directory? It seems like it is a problem with the folder-permissions. Such errors occur if ~/.openoffice.org2-dircectory is e.g. owned by the root-user.
