If I launch OpenOffice without first starting X11, the X11 xterm loads and
after about 15 seconds an OpenOffice prompt appears with the message
"Command timed out". I can click "cancel" or "ok" after which OpenOffice
Writer is properly launched.  The OpenOffice suite appears to run
correctly from this point forward, but I dont understand that error
message.

Leopard's X11 is much newer than X11 in Tiger and earlier; it is also a work-in-progress, and causes annoyances like this. For now, just ignore it. Have you gotten the Xquartz update? the location of that is in the second section here: http://homepage.mac.com/sao1/X11/ index.html . There's also some other interesting reading there.

Also, is there that X11 can run in the background without appearing with
OpenOffice?


Not easily. I wouldn't recommend it unless you consider yourself a 'power user'. In that case, go to the web page listed above and check out the "Working without launchd" section.
