Hi,

A point about the Mac OS X status for 1.9.xxx (for me m118, not the time 
do build m120), in order to decide if we still have chances or not for 2.0 :

- sound is broken #i48216# (help is welcome)

- java is broken, but the problem will probably be solved this next 
week.  For more informations, see  #i47888#. Two solutions were tested, 
all are described in #i47888#. I still have a break with my last new 
code, so please don't use it...
Thank's to P. Luby for his help.

- X11 keyboard problem... : not solved because of a strange behaviour 
from X11 : xmodmap works only the second time an X11 application is 
started...  If we have the right to do this, I propose to provide our 
own version of X11 (just the necessary). Again, only if this is possible 
(for legal reasons).

- Florian's metapackager shell script : tested, works fine. Great work ! 
The purpose is simply to have only one package at the end for every 
locale built.  *I propose* to use/integrate this script (simply located 
in solenv/bin).

Ok ?

Bad : We have not yet choosen the installer... yes I know :-/

- icons for installer : I have icons, 128x128, but they're not correct 
(because they're aliased ).  I wonder why there's no repository in OOo 
site to help.... ???  I miss the URL  ? Else, who is OOo designer ?  Is 
it possible to contact her/him to obtain high quality icons ?   Thank's 
in advance :-)

Some new features around macosx10 :

- locale seems to work really fine now ( Tino's work)
- scanner now works really : see #i48285#

Last but not least, let me talk about a new important (IMHO) feature :

gtkplugin *and* kdeplugin (since this evening !) are now working ->see 
#i52381# for gtkplugin. The first one works really better than the 
second, so I decided to not use it yet. With this change, gtk or kde 
themes can directly be used on Mac OSX !  This is very important for Mac 
OSX port, because look is often the reason to *not* use OOo.

Some screenshots here for the curious :
