I have OpenOffice 2.4 loaded and it works. I have two questions
that seem to be specific to my iMac. Clicking on the icon on the
desktop loads OpenOffice and x11, but doesn't open Open Office. I
have to go down to the dock and open it by right clicking on it and
telling it to open. Minor, but I don't think it's supposed to work
that way. Second question, much more important. When I'm done
with Open Office, it has completely filled the screen and I can
find no keystroke combination to regain control of the computer. I
can close OpenOffice but I have a grey screen remaining the will
not go away unless I turn off the machine and restart it. I'm sure
this isn't the way it's supposed to work, either. Any help would
be appreciated because this doesn't seem to be addressed in FAQs.
Thank you.
Both of these are mostly likely related to X11. You have Leopard, i
presume?
If so, the first problem can be helped by getting a more bugfixed
X11 from here: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.2.1 . I
also recommend keeping an eye on the xquartz site for a new version
in the next week or two.
For the second problem, i believe you may have changed something in
X11's prefs: go to X11> Preferences> Export. I suppose you have the
first option ticked (activate menu command Screen filling view) or
you might try to use the toggle key to go from full screen to normal:
Cmd-Option-A
Does that help?
