This is probable a correct assessment. I believe that if an approbate
clipboard for Open Office is open then Open Office uses it but f Open Office
does not detect that an approbate clipboard exist as it would not if Open
Office were open first but that may not be the only reason then Open Office
opens its own clipboard which then does not allow cut and past to other
programs.
One tool that really helps this situation is 'klipper'
