Aqua and HICombobox ( using HIView )

Look carefully on top left : all the comboboxes are HIComboboxes !!

This means HIView ( including compositing ), seems to work with Mac OS X Aqua version of OpenOffice.org.

Native menu

This is the first try, my code is not really clean, and we have some work to control everything, but this is very promising.

Many thanks to Sébastien Plisson, alias plipli for the help and the code review.
