    It breaks Open Office 2.0.4 for Mac. Even tried re-installing Open Office - no dice.

    I am also having the same issue. Does anyone know how to back-out the update?

    The X11 update seems to break OpenOffice. OpenOffice makes it halfway through loading and quits. Other users on the OpenOffice forum are reporting the same issue.
