XAmi worked very nice for me, I've used X11 a bunch of times before on Amiga. When it comes to time-to-market, X11 is going to be YEARS ahead of a native port. At least that's what the analysis from the guy behind NeoOffice/J suggests. So while most people should work on the native things, we should make sure it stays useable on XAmi at all times.
MacOS' X11 is a rootless server that runs on their desktop, using Aqua'ish windows and all. If you already have something like that, then I guess it would be the better idea. It might even be the better idea to go the same route for an Amiga port, I just simply don't know what would be more work.
Regards,
XAmi is a 68k X11 server from the web page:
Xami is an X11 server for Amiga that can take advantage of hardware capabilities of the graphic system for acceleration. It may be launched from Workbench or CLI, uses the current keyboard mapping and does not need any extra libraries such as ixemul.
There is no source on the web page so it looks like it'll probab ly only be available in 68k version, probably not what we want for a beast sucha s OpenOffice.org.
Although it may be an interim solution, whilst we get the GUI ported?
