Hi,

due to error reports when using the launcher whith multiple users on the same
machine I modified the script in the following way:
1. The display variable is now read from the system, because it changes when
multiple users run X11 at the same time (fast user switch). Up to now we always
used :0.0.
2. Users without admin rights received errors when the script terminated. This
was due to AppleScript trying to make variables persistent by writing them back
to the script. I could eliminate all those variables.
3. The application type of the script is now changed to a "stay open" applet,
which means the icon will not vanish directly after opening but will stay open
as long as the OOo process is running. This can be changed back easily if you
encounter problems. To achieve this, the script checks every 3 seconds if the
process is still alive.
4. Fondu support: If fondu is found at /usr/local/bin/fondu the script will ask
for administrator rights and will then use fondu to convert all system fonts for
use by OOo. This will be done exactly once, because an indicator file is also
written into OOo's font folder. If the user has private fonts in his home, they
will not be acessible by OOo. But I think the other 99% should be happy...

The only problem I currently see with this aproach is the missing UI (which I
did not add because of the required localization). The user does not know why he
has to provide a password and why the first start needs more time. 

Anyway, may be you want to give it a try. I'll attach my zipped desktop/macosx
directory and a patch against m130.

- Stephan
