StarOffice 8 / OpenOffice 2.0 application packages don't use scripts and 
are fully relocatable (Disclaimer: does not apply to the desktop 
integration packages). Needless to say that they don't require setuid 
files.

Not being able to install OpenOffice.org without root privileges was the 
biggest concern in the community when switching to Solaris pkg for 
installation.
