Changed my color depth from 16bit to 24bit, and now OpenOffice has 
anti-aliased fonts!

With 16bpp, xvncviewer 3.3.7 is very snappy, but vncviewer 3.3.7 on 
Win2k Pro is not nearly as snappy and uses a lot of CPU on the client. 
Raising my color depth to 24 also made the viewer faster on windows 
(over a 100Mbps LAN) surprisingly enough.

I'm happy.  :-D
