XFCE startup lags with one user only due to OPENOFFICE [NOT-SOLVED]

For some reason, when I start xfce4 with my only non-root user, the super key is "stuck" rendering several keys on the keyboard unusable because I have them bound as shortcuts.

i'm dual booting windows and the keyboard is functioning fine when I boot there, and strangely enough logging out and back in as root is also normal.

the only things i've down since the last time it was working was install openoffice, which I havent completely gotten to work yet (it freezes when I try to close it, anybody know why? I get some ICE connection refused error). and gaim.

any ideas? other than deleting the user and re-doing everything.. where can i look?

---

I deleted the user completely and remade a new user with the same name... the super key "stuck" problem is gone but for some reason the other problems remain.

1) xfce takes 5 times longer to load than it does for root
2) xfapplet won't load properly, but does for root

among others.. where can I look to solve these problems? im guessing I have to remove or edit the files associated with that account name but how? sorry still learning...

Every time I have heard of something that takes ages to load it's because the computer is missing the line
127.0.0.1               localhost.localhost       localhost
in /etc/hosts, but I think it was only a Gnome problem

ok reinstalling openoffice caused the same problem.

Super key "stuck" when xfce4 starts up

and the startup time is 5-10 times longer than for root.

Root and winxp experience neither of those problems. Whats wrong??

why does it seem like nobody in the world has experienced this? nothing on the openoffice forums either.. =T
