Out of 377 items in .recently-used, <Mime-Type>application/octet-stream</Mime-Type> appears 6 times - with *odp twice, with *ods twice, and with *odg twice. On the other hand, 3 presentations, 17 graphics, 5 spreadsheets and 1 text opendocument files have the correct mime type.
I think I might have found another clue. Some presentations have caused OpenOffice to collapse on startup - they begin to load, and then ooffice shuts down and gives me the document recovery error message. One file in particular was causing a lot of troubles back in March on Suse. At the time, I seemed to correct this problem by reinstalling the sun java jre (1.5) and the reinstalling openoffice. The problematic file was not in my .recently-used in Dapper, so I tried to open it conventially (double-clicking in Nautilus). OpenOffice crashed again, and the resulting entry in .recently used shows <Mime-Type>application/octet-stream</Mime-Type>. I'm led to believe that all OpenOffice files open at the time of such a crash will result in the faulty mime-type entry in .recenty-used. > >"<Mime-Type>application/octet-stream</Mime-Type>", that is the issue.
