Martin Olsson, i meant to say YES, you are right. It should be
parameters, i updated the description -  my mistake.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: openoffice.org
  
  Linux wilbert-desktop 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 20:57:48 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
  openoffice.org 1:3.0.1-9ubuntu3(jaunty)
  
- After upgrading from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.4, opening openoffice writer will
- freeze the system, Only the frame of writer will show, the mouse will
- still move but stutters. Music will keep playing but stutters. Nothing
- will work but a hard reset.

  The following item seems related but didn't help me:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/319700
  
  The system will also hang with:
-   openoffice calc -> Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> Java-> properties
+   openoffice calc -> Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> Java-> parameters
+ 
+ i edited xorg.conf:
+ Section "Device"
+   Driver "vesa" # changed from value "ati" to "vesa"
+   ...
+ 
+ After this change restarted x windows and open office writer worked
+ perfectly. There are no related problems in any of the other tools i
+ use, but all of the openoffice.org tools seem to freeze x windows at
+ some point.
