"man xhost" for details) OOo version : 2.4.0, more precisely Debian package openoffice.org-core 1:2.4.0-3+b1 Do I need to compile my own version ? Is there a mean to know if my the binary has headless enabled ? This sounds very interesting, but I can’t reproduce your example :
$ unset DISPLAY
$ /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin -headless
“-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;”
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin X11 error: Can’t open display:
Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option
or check permissions of your X-Server
(See “man X” resp. “man xhost” for details)

OOo version : 2.4.0, more precisely
Debian package openoffice.org-core 1:2.4.0-3+b1

Do I need to compile my own version ?
Is there a mean to know if my the binary has headless enabled ?

I think many of us, web developers and system administrators will benefit from this work as it makes life much easier(without X on our server). Thanks again! Thank you for this patch!
