Dear All,
I have OO 2.3 and 2.4 for Mac as well as an operating X11.
Yesterday I upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6, and OO will not open. I
have to force quit the program to get out of it again (it seems to
be running in the background somewhere, but you cannot use it.)
Please advise.

I notice that no-one has replied to you yet, so I will try and help.
From my studies in this forum there is a problem with the X11 that
comes with 10.5.5 so it will not run OpenOffice. All the advice
from the users of Mac has been to upgrade to OOo 3.0 as that does
not need X11.
So I would recommend the upgrade to OOo 3.0. There will be a version
3.0.1 coming out in January but I would suspect that that is too
late for you.

As a Mac user, I can confirm that. Generally speaking, upgrading to
3.0 is virtually a no brainer, as it has been a while since there has
been serious development work on any X11 version anyway. If you need
2.4 for other reasons, the most recent version (2.4.2) should have
been corrected for this issue. See http://blog.shaunmcdonald.me.uk/2008/03/ooo-possible-fix-for-the-command-timed-out-error-on-leopard/
