Steve: You are following the procedure except you MUST be logged in as a user with administrative priviledges. I'm assuming that you have such a user and know that you have access to this user as you installed X11 and OpenOffice.org. However, it possible to install these products and NOT be logged in as that user. To make the change to remove X11 you have to be logged in as that user.
