Could someone from Oo.o on this list please comment on this issue. It
was known to be occurring in 2.3.0, and I proposed a fix that was not
included in 2.4.0, so I'd like to know if this will be fixed at some
point. The fix was pseudocode rather than a patch because I can't
find the Applescript source to droplet. I could probably give a
proper fix to droplet if I knew where the Applescript source was, but
I don't see anything named '*droplet*' in OOH680_m12...
I do the following workaround for my system:
cd /Applications/OpenOffice.org 2.4.app/Contents
cp Info.plist Info.plist.orig
sed 's:droplet:soffice:' Info.plist.orig > Info.plist
rm Info.plist.orig
This would work too:
cd /Applications/OpenOffice.org 2.4.app/Contents/MacOS
mv droplet droplet.real
cat > droplet <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
if [ -n ${DISPLAY} ] ; then
exec "/Applications/OpenOffice.org 2.4.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice"
else
exec "/Applications/OpenOffice.org 2.4.app/Contents/MacOS/dropplet"
fi
EOF
chmod 755 droplet

OpenOffice 2.4 will not start for me. Well, it starts but will not
run.
First the term window appears.
Then I get a timeout message.
Then I got a popup asking me if I wanted to use the system fonts. I
said
yes, and the wheel appeared. It was still there this morning. I had
to use
Force Quit.
This is with 2.2.0.1
Old thing. Use Terminal to run OO and type: /Applications/

Maybe you should try new OOo 3.0 beta Aqua. It works for me. You can
