I can understand. Using #fink channel from time to time, I find a lot of 
people, who often advice me to bump X11, and use XFree or XDarwin. 
There's even a non free XDarwin version with hardwdare acceleration 
available.

The problem we have is to provide an OpenOffice.org always working with 
"what" Mac user uses, and this is very diverse.

If I'm not wrong a fink OOo port is in progress.

Thank you.

The launcher we are talking about is using an Applescript, initially 
written by Terry Teague (someone correct me if I'm wrong). It  has been 
completely modified by Stephan since. Because I myself proposed a 
script, I have in mind the changes in question. Of course, you can 
obtain the content in #i42998# and with cvs (I'll commit the last 
changes as soon as possible).

launcher's code is in OOo sources, exactly in desktop/macosx/source 
directory, and is part of macosx11 cws.
The file containing the script is named "main.applescript " and is a 
text file.

What sort of code?

Applescript. Contact me directly if you need more infos.

  (I've never read the OOo

Of course, The problem is that Apple provided us a non friendly X11
