Awesome!
For a while I had been thinking it would be nice to create a small preference pane that would allow users to set these options, but I never got around to write it. Your way is even more elegant, since you don't need to restart NeoOffice.
One thing though: do we still need two "New" submenus (one in NeoOffice, one in File)? It may be related to keyboard shortcuts, though I can't really remember.

In most cases, the items in the NeoOffice :: New submenu are redundant with those in the File :: New menu. However, there are some rare cases where OpenOffice.org will close the 1 x 1 pixel window and the File menu disappears. In those cases, using the NeoOffice :: New menu is the only way you have to open a new document to get things back to normal. So, I have left the menu there just to be safe.

Yeah, in the NeoOffice menu we can assign items arbitrary keyboard shortcuts (including ones with Option) using the System Preferences, and in current versions of Java, System Preferences is unable to change shortcuts in menus coming in via OpenOffice.org code.
Specifically, in my case, I have Cmd-Opt-1 set to Text Document, Cmd-Opt-2 set to Spreadsheet, Cmd-Opt-3 set to Presentation, etc.
Actually, that brings up a potential problem Since the default document type (Open at Launch) submenu is using the same strings as the New document items, that's going to break the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to one or another set (both sets will pick up the shortcuts; one will win). For my sake I hope New wins, since it's first in the menu, but is is possible to switch one set to the module names (Writer, Calc, Impress, etc.) instead?

Good catch. I just tested setting Command-Option-1 to "Text Document" and Mac OS X assigned the shortcut to the "Open at Launch" menu item, not the "New" menu item. This is not good so I will try changing the "Open at Launch" menu items to the module names to avoid duplicate menu item names.

OK. I found the OpenOffice.org call that will return the module name for each module and I have changed the code to put the module names in the "Open at Launch" menu. The attached image shows what the updated menu will look like.
Open at Launch
Mac OS X Options
Ignore Trackpad Gestures
Disable Mac OS X Services Menu
Disable Mac OS X Text Highlighting
Disable Quick Look Support in Documents
Code:
Toon bij starten
Mac OS X mogelijkheden
Negeer trackpad gebaren
Schakel Mac OS X voorzieningen uit
Schakel Mac OS X tekst markeren uit
Schakel ondersteuning voor Quick Look in documenten uit
Most of the Dutch translations are literal, except for the first one that translates back literally as 'Show at startup'. _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

Thank you for the Dutch translations. I have integrated them into code and I will include them in the next NeoOffice 3.0.2 Early Access test build.
Does anyone have any translations for other languages? If so and you can post them before 21 December 2009, I can include them in the NeoOffice 3.0.2 Early Access release.

FYI. I have included Oscar's and Samwise's Dutch and French translations in today's NeoOffice 3.0.2 Early Access test build. Can you install today's test build and tell us if you see your menu translations?

Since the default document type (Open at Launch) submenu is using the same strings as the New document items, that's going to break the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to one or another set (both sets will pick up the shortcuts; one will win).
