More than likely something else. I haven't ever experienced problems with 
any of the Open Office or Star Office versions on my Gnome / Sawfish 
setup; Menus work fine here.

In fact, in nearly 3 years of using them, Gnome (and Sawfish) have never 
given me any problems to significance. of, despite my proclivities toward 
experimenting with a variety of applications and interfaces. I remember 
there being a couple of KDE based utilities proved flaky when hooking 
into the Gnome environment, but those are the exception rather than the 
rule and they weren't essential tools.
