Yes...and I think the 2.x releases are X11 based, but 3.0 onwards is going to be Aqua. Also, depending on which version of X11 you have, it probably doesn't start properly if you double click on the app because it doesn't understand the new apple X11. Workaround is to start it from the command line using the real binary inside the app bundle. For me, what is missing from the latest Mac OOo 2.4 release is the en-gb localisation... Obviously I'm on a loser wanting it to run under X11 in the longer term. But I'm hoping enough of the Spaces/X11 glitches will also be fixed in the same time-frame so I can cope with an Aqua version. And at work I can probably run it remotely on a linux box... -- Viv ------------------------------------------------ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv Quantum Information Physics & Astronomy University of Leeds ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
