The key, I found, is that the crash occurs when the *display* is on KDE, irrespective of whether the display is on the local Ubuntu machine that is running OOo or a remote machine (e.g., SUSE) connecting to the Ubuntu machine using ssh -Y.
It does not happen on displays running (at least) Gnome and Windowmaker. Client machines (running Edgy): Dell Inspiron X1 (32-bit Pentium M, 512MB) AMD-64 3000+ (64-bit) 1G) X-servers running on (in addition to the client machines) SUSE10.1 Pentium D 64-bit Dual Core, 2G SUSE10.1 Dell Inspiron Pentium M 32-bit The problem always follows the use of an X server running a KDE display, irrespective of where OOo is running. FWIW, the 64-bit build of OOo 2.0.4 in SUSE10.2Beta1 does NOT exhibit these crashes.
