I also suffered the same problem. This problem was there in Windows version also till 2.0.1. However, it was found rectified in version 2.0.2 in Windows. Therefore, I was eagerly waiting for Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake which was to come with version 2.0.2. This problem was found rectified there.
However, 2.0.2 has it own share of bugs. I was confortably using 1.9.129 with JDBC driver in Ubuntu 5.10 to connect to MySQL servers on localhost and on other computers also. But OpenOffoce 2.0.2 crashes when it tries to load JDBC driver.
