Actually this is related. When starting OpenOffice with a home directory
located on an NFS server which doesn't support file locking, the
~/.openoffice.org/3 directory isn't created correctly, leading to
non-working keys.

The NFS server was running OpenBSD 4.3, which didn't provided rpc.statd.
It has been fixed in OpenBSD 4.4, and now everything works perfectly for
me.

Thanks!
