Are you logged in as an user with administrative rights? I would assume so because you installed and removed X11, but one cannot be totally sure. The first time you run OpenOffice.org 2.0, you must be logged in as a user with administrative rights. If you are doing this, please go to the Library folder for this user and then Application Support. Drag the OpenOffice.org 2.0 folder to the trash and then empty the trash. If you ran a version of OpenOffice.org before 2.0.3 there may be a hidden folder named .openoffice.org2 in the user directory. You will need to run the Terminal program (Applications -> Utilities) in order to remove this folder. If this does not work, please post what you have done to the Mac OS X porting mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) as this is not common.
