Les, there's another thread discussing this Leopard / X11 business. There seems to be a succession of X11 1.2 updates underway to correct problems that OOo, the Gimp etc. have with running under X11 on Leopard. I'm 'looking the cat out of the tree' before buying a new Mac with Leopard... -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.3 m221 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo 2.3 RC 3 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
