The only "change" in directory structur when you use OOo X11 is that you may see files and folders that the Finder usually hides when you're using an aqua native app. This is designed by Apple. Normal end-users shouldn't see that much of the Unix that OS X is so Apple basicly hides everything of the unix base systems or makes it look like the old Mac OS. Once you use X11 or the Terminal you have full access to the Unix enviroment and OS X behaves more like a Unix. That OOo uses another old system directory from a previous installed Mac OS X is something I can hardly imagine. My OOo never did something like that and I thread my Mac not the best way I could. Maybe it helps you if you just click on the Icon showing a house next time you try to open or save a download. This brings you right to the folder which is also marked with a house in the Finder. If not please take a look at Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org->Paths and change the Workdir (first entry in the list that in a german OOo is called "Arbeitsverzeichnis" to /Users/<your username>. If all of the above doesn't match your problem please provide more informations to us. Thank you. > Can anyone tell me how to keep these directories consistent (the > directory accessible via OOo (through X-11) - with the OS X > directory)? Normally Mac OS X should do this by itsself if not there is something wrong with your OS X installation and not with OOo. See above it's just that you see way more folders, directories and file if you use X11 than you would if you use the Finder. > Rebooting does not seem to be effective. Is it an > X-11 problem? or an OOo problem? Neither nor it's just (see above) a matter of using Mac OS X as a Mac OS or as an Unix. I would recommend you to go out and see if you can a book like "The Missing Manual Mac OS X Tiger Edition" by David Pogue or if you want to digg deeper into Unix there is "Unix for Mac OS X" from O'Reilly as well.
