F7t1 openoffice.org-core-2.2.0-5.1.i386.rpm fix/work around?

[Jerry Williams]

It looks like the first time soffice runs it calls 

/usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/javaldx and it calls

/usr/bin/gij -classpath /usr/lib/openoffice.org/program JREProperties

Which seems to hang or never return.

Seems like if you kill gij then 

.openoffice.org2.0/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml gets created.

Once .openoffice.org2.0 gets created it seems to run fine.

I renamed .openoffice.org2.0 and it breaks again.

# ./javaldx -h

javaldx is necessary to make Java work on some UNIX platforms.It prints a
string to std out that consists of directories which have to be included
into the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.The setting of the variable usually occurs
in a shell script that runs javaldx.
The directories are from the chosen java installation.
Options are:
--help or -h

# ps -ef|grep 2959
