To reply to my own query, I have managed to find that the bug is known 
and should be fixed with the RC release tomorrow:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/452518

apparently a bug in openoffice.org-kde package to do with the kde 
filepicker. So it should be Kubuntu related and not generally Ubuntu or 
Openoffice.org
