Hello, • The version you installed still uses the X11 windowing program. The Aqua version (that doesn't need X11 anymore) is in development. You can already use it (and maybe contribute to throw out some bugs), but it isn't advisable to use it for production work (you find the Aqua version on the mac porting pages). • When X11 starts, it always opens the xterm window (there are commands that prevent it from doing so, but I don't remember them and they are different for different versions of the OS and X11). You can always click on the red button to make xterm go away. • To avoid the 'command timed out' message, you can start X11 manually (the program sits in Applications>Utilities) before starting OpenOffice.org. • Normally the OOo Document Recovery only appears when OOo wasn't closed properly in the previous session. Do you close OOo normally (Apple-Q or File>Quit), or do you just close X11? In the latter case it's normal that the Recovery is activated when OOo starts up again.
