Piers: I am a regular OpenOffice.org Mac OS X version user and the lead of the Mac OS X test team. You did not state how much memory you have installed on your G4 system, but more is definitely better. I recommend a minimum of 256 MB and 512 MB if you are working with lengthy or large document files. I am glad that you overcame the X11 problem you experienced. I can also state that the team reponsible for porting OpenOffice.org 2.0 to the Mac OS X system is working very hard to create a Mac OS X native program.
