But may be there are good reasons for doing so ?
Is OOo for the average Mac user only? I mean, some still use Panther (I
do), the majority of Mac users seems to use mostly Tiger (see statistics
that have been shown on this list). Leaving the support of Panther means
that more than 10% of the Mac users won't be able to use OOo.
That's the same idea for XDarwin. And I think users of XDarwin are
moslty familiar about the Open Source and Libre Software, 'cause its
installation mainly come from fink or darwinports.
They are a privileged part of Mac users that may use OOo... I mean the
percentage of people using OOo and known to use XDarwin might be higher
than the percentage of people using OOo and not using XDarwin (with X11
or not doesn't matter, if they don't, they are more likely to install
X11 than XDarwin if they want to install OOo).
See?
Fink, Darwinports. Actually, looks like there's a fink port of OOo.
asari will confirm us XDarwin is or not used.
I'm using XDarwin from Darwinports... If XDarwin isn't supported by OOo,
that would be *really* sad: I can't leave my Xdarwin to use X11. Then I
wouldn't be able to use OOo...
I'm not sure this is a good idea, but I prefer wait for other opinions.
Well, you have mine :)
Deleting these lines, will you save time while launching the
Application ? (I have no idea in fact)
Which lines are in question? What sort of code? (I've never read the OOo
launcher code, but IMHO,) checking if your X server is XDarwin or
Apple's X11 wouldn't be *that* difficult.
Finally, I'd like to wish myself a "bienvenue" here on this list... It's
actually my first post.
