Apps :: openoffice wont open

Hi there,

I've got a hdd install of DSL 0.9.2 and I'm trying to get openoffice to go. I've just got the mydsl, but when I try the desktop icons, nothing happens. When I try running the command in the shell it says:

"The application cannot be started"
"A connection to the central configuration could not be establised"

Any ideas?

Following SaidinUnleashed's suggestion last night on IRC, I redownloaded the mydsl pacakge and checked the md5sum. Now I can load the office apps whilst being root in a command line, but the desktop icons appear to start the app loading process (can see the processes with 'ps -ax') but nothing happens.
