Re: OpenOffice.org 1.1 Beta released

Well, it certainly is sped up *a lot*. The splash-screen also has a progress indicator right now, good idea.

There are still problems however; the interface is still butt-ugly and it still doesn't pick up fontconfig fonts/use Xft2.

I hope it will be less crash-prone than previous versions which made me loose work every now and then :(

Still it is a huge step forward.
