Hmm. There may be more problems than I thought:

The OpenOffice.org problems are because I have real OOo from OOo, not
the version in the Fedora repos. And the upgrade from 14 to 16
supposedly installed LibreOffice (I think). I remember seeing a package
libreoffice-ure being installed. I think this is as good a time as any
to switch to LibreOffice, so that's how I'll resolve the OOo problem.

Also, Scribus won't launch, nor will any part of OOo. I tried
reinstalling Scribus but got dependency errors relating to python
(Scribus uses python for scripting).

I think I'll work on Scribus and OOo/LibreOffice first.
