I'm not sure I'd describe OOo as being non-bloated. Last I saw it 
epitomised the reinvent-the-wheel approach, implementing its own widget 
set, its own object model, its own bloody everything (although at least 
ooo-build lets you coerce it into using an external copy of 
fontconfig/Xft/freetype). I was surprised it didn't come with its own 
video drivers.
