Looks as if it might be a setup and permission problem to me.

Normally you'd install a multi user version of OOo as root (especially
with those weird paths you've got, which indicate another b-minded rpm
install). Then you's run a user set up and afterwards OOo as that user.
In which case the templates, also the default templates, would be in the
user's home directory. I'd be curious as to what that was, with your rpm
install; hopefully not the same as Mandrake's.

You don't have any business as a user to be changing stuff in /usr/lib.
You're not allowed to go there and change things. Look around in the
user's home directory, even though that user might be root (yuk).
