Read the post-install message:

Please preset Gnome appearance always with "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" even when you are runnning a different desktop!

I still think this should be the default since OO just crashes on other WMs otherwise.

Indeed, export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde hangs and export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome does not. Strange behavior though...
