My operating system is “Leopard” (Mac OS X v. 5.2) with X11

If you would indulge another question...I have been able to install
Open Office in my Applications folder, as instructed, but the
application will not open when I click on the OO icon. Instead, an
X11window opens taking me to the Terminal. Looks like below. I
cannot determine from online help where to go from here. Any
suggestions that you might have would be quite welcome. Should you
not be a Mac user, I wonder if you might be able to forward me or
my question to one. Thanks very much.
The X11 window, xterm as it calls itself, is a natural part of X11
starting up. Just put it in the dock or leave it behind your Open
Office window, which should also appear. The X11 that comes with
Leopard is not complete yet, and we recommend installing the open
source Xquartz package to fix many X11 problems. The 2.2.1 version
of Xquartz is available here: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/
xquartz/wiki/X112.2.1 . Download and install the package then log
out and back in again.
