OpenOffice -headless on a Mac

[Steffan]

On both the official intel build and PPC build for MacOS X I have run into an issue where the builds are linked to the GUI even when specified to launch -headless. If a user is not logged in while attempting to use OpenOffice I get the following error regardless of the user I am while executing the service.

testserver:~ root# /Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice -headless -display :0 -accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;" -nofirststartwizard &

Is there a trick I am missing to stop this from happening? It does this on both 10.4 and 10.5

Ok, this seems to the issue:

What I don't understand though is if I say -headless why does OOo need to connect to the window server. Is this a bug in OOo?

Moving the thread to the Mac forum.
