If you want screenshots on OSX, I'd be happy to provide them.  KOffice
for the most part is looking pretty good on OSX.

One big missing feature that'll be a killer for folks, though, is it's
not currently possible to register certain document types with KDE
applications so they auto-open (.doc, .xls, etc.)  Apparently it
requires applications to understand a specific API and register for
"file open" events, and I'm not sure how to reconcile that with KDE's
freedesktop-style property-file registration.  :(

Is there anyone around with some mac chops who would mind
investigating with me how to do that?  KOffice will be *very* popular
on OSX once it interacts nicely with the finder, I think.
