Ah, Lenny... Why make things hard on yourself? ;-P
You may try:
# rpm -e $(rpm -qa openoffice.org-\*-2.3.0-\*)
If that does not work, it might be easier to just uninstall everything
and start over again:
# rpm -e $(rpm -qa openoffice\*)
(then reinstall OpenOffice 3.1)
(then install the RPM for GNOME integration)

Those files are not under /opt. I think you missed this RPM:
RPMS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-*.rpm
This will install files under /usr including icons, shortcuts, mime
configurations, etc., to integrate the new OpenOffice to your GNOME.

Yes, there you go.

Same here, I usually avoid replacing the components shipped with
CentOS, but in this case it seemed safe enough as I don't really use
(or know) anything that depends on OpenOffice. Also, when my wife
asked me what to do with those files my usual answer was "complain to
the sender", now it is "complain to the sender, but go ahead and open
it".
Cheers!
