Yes, the issue arises for a clean installation, and the behaviour is 
different from LO 3.5 and LO 3.6. LO 3.5 will launch without problems 
overriding the Gatekeeper by using the control-open method, while to 
launch LO 3.6 you must override the security setting in the Control 
Panel (Security and Privacy, accept applications from anywhere).

Otherwise, when you launch LO 3.6 after the installation, you will get a 
slightly frightening message (for basic users), which I have grabbed 
here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/116590/damaged.tiff.

In my case, LO 3.5.5 crashed while opening, and the system showed the 
message that in order to run the application it was necessary to install 
Java (and launched the installer).

Once Java was installed, LO 3.5.5 launched without problems.

I will blog about the experience, to explain the different solutions to 
the problem of running LO with Mountain Lion.

Best, Italo
