I downloaded and started using OO 2.4 several months ago on my new MAC 10.5.
Most of the time the program would open when I clicked the icon. However, sometimes
it would time out and I would have to click on a document in order to open.
Sometimes I would get an X11 message box in the upper left corner of my desktop that
would say "XTERM: Bash-3.2$. When I closed this box OO 2.4 would then usually
boot up.
On Sat., Oct 5 I got an upgrade message from Apple which included an upgrade to X11.
Following this upgrade I have been unable to open OO 2.4 either by clicking on the
icon or trying to open a document. I either get the message box with "XTERM:
Bash-3.2$ or the timer icon runs and runs until time expires without 2.4 opening.
Thus, I no longer have any access to the software or my Open Office docs.
The newest Mac OS X Leopard update 10.5.5 causes problems with X11
There is a work around.
X11 Time out solution:

Also you may need to install latest X11 from
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/Releases
A simpler solution that I highly recommend is to install OO.o 3.0. It
does not require X11. Release candidates are available now. The final
release is out in a week or two.
