I think the fundamental problems with OpenOffice were that NeoOffice/J used some obscure Java framework that looked like Mac OS X and tasted like margarine and that VoiceOver didn't like, and that OpenOffice's Unix version used X11, where X here means eXcluded from VoiceOver. Anybody had any success getting Gnopernicus to work with Mac OS X?
