Try making a new username on your machine, logging in as that
used and try openoffice, it could be something broken in your
users config files.

Have you changed anything recently? java? kde?

What kind of indefinite silence is it? Does it give you the prompt
back or just hang for ever? Maybe it's trying to get to some network
resource you had available before but don't now?

If you're feeling brave you could try: strace -f /usr/X11R6/OOo-calc

which will show you what it is doing, may or may not be useful.
