It's OpenOffice made pretty by Ximian. possibly also more usable, but I
don't know about that.

Shots form the Ximian site:

Read the thread openoffice-ximian-1.1.0 [ebuild inside] from the gentoo
forums:

If you're a Gnome user, you get an OpenOffice that fits perfectly in the
GTK2 environment. Also the icons are prettier ;)

You want it because it looks better than vanilla OO and performs the
same tasks. I can't understand why it isn't in the portage :( Suka and
BMG save the day.
