I have OpenOffice.org X11 for the Mac. When you click on the OpenOffice.org icon to launch the application, it effectively only opens up a Writer document to start with. However, as Frank has mentioned, you can create a new database by going through the menu structure File > New > Database. There have been several personal attempts to enable icons for each of the different modules of the suite, however, this turned out to be rather complicated to achieve on the Mac, in view of the way the system identifies any given process. I believe it is still possible to do so, but it involves writing a specific script to launch each module and then associating an icon for each.
