Ah yes... That should certainly take care of it. The only suggestion
I'd make is to change:
if (atLeastOSXVersion(10, 5, 0)) then
into whatever the applescript for:
if [ -n ${DISPLAY} ] ; then
Thanks Shaun.

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/
OpenOffice.org\
2.4.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice &\
Maybe you should try new OOo 3.0 beta Aqua. It works for me. You can
download latest milestone here:

Visit this page every week to check if there is new version.
