sudo chown -vR matt:users /home/matt/.config
Your user should own .config within your home folder
]]>drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 6 13:58 .config
Only folder in ~/ owned by root I might add.
]]>[matt@ArchBox ~]$ sudo chown -vR matt:users ~/.config/.openoffice.org
chown: cannot access `/home/matt/.config/.openoffice.org': No such file or directory
failed to change ownership of `/home/matt/.config/.openoffice.org' to matt:users
I thought before that might have something to do with my problem but I couldn't find any such folder anywhere.
]]>you can try:
sudo chown -vR youruser:yourgroup ~/.config/.openoffice.org
And as far as uninstalling/reinstalling: I first installed the vanilla OOo. Then I uninstalled and then reinstalled it. Then I uninstalled it again and installed go-openoffice. Then I reinstalled that as well. None of that helped. (All dependencies were reinstalled as well (I used "pacman -Rnsu")).
I also tried all that with both openjdk6 and jre.

i've looked everywhere for an answer but found nothing that helped.
