Actually, the code in StarOffice (and I believe OpenOffice shares this code,
along with all of the other accessibility work in StarOffice) will try to find
a JVM with accessibility support turned on if the GNOME Accessibility gconf
flag is turned on for this user *at* installation time.  I don't know if this
code is in OpenOffice 1.1 beta2, but I've verified that this is the case with
a recent internal build of StarOffice - the installer talks with Gnopernicus
from the very beginning.
