You may be short of memory or have a problem with your local x windows settings.

most likely is you dont have some of the required fonts for openoffice.

RHES is enterprise server, we can not be very sure whether it has all components required to run openoffice. why dont you try some desktop versions which take care of these needs. Fedora Core 3 would be a best choice.

This may or may not be useful to you, but when I run into seg faults I always use strace to see what is happening up to the sefault..

host$ strace oowriter

There will be a LOT of output from this, but usually the most recent 50-100 lines has been useful to me in diagnosing problems.
