My ~/OpenOffice1.1/user/psprint/pspfontcache is only 20K and hasn't been
modified since 2004-06-23.  But I'm not a big OOo user.

A "find" also shows ~/.ooo-1.1/user/psprint/pspfontcache which is 22K
has a modification date of today.  Has the base directory changed in the
SuSE 9.2 OOo?  You might want to take a look at that file too.
