Thanks for the response. Yes i tried that. Also did remove & install :
  sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org*
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get autoremove
  mv ~/.openoffice.org* ~/remove_openoffice.org
  sudo apt-get install openoffice.org
  oowriter

Then i see the same thing. I think it is an X Windows related problem, no response pressing any terminal keys (CTRL+ALT+Fn) and can't restart X Windows with (ALT+SYSRQ+K) however, doing that i see it picks up the keypress (normally the background color changes a bit when i restart X) the screen stays and the mouse is frozen as well.

Tried with Compiz disabled - same result. Maybe i can add some logfile? Please let me know.
