My thanks to James Walker for filing this issue.  If he hadn't done it already,
I would be filing it now. 

I hope this will not just be seen as a bit of window dressing.  It is a vey
serious issue.  Those of us who spend may hours on the users list are well aware
of the trouble it causes and the number of times new users complain that 'Open
Office has taken over their system' when all they wanted to do was give it a
try.   Furthermore, I am sure it gives people a very negative view of OO for
putting them to so much trouble.  As any marketing person knows, one or two
angry/upset customers can outweigh the good will of many dozens of satisfied
customers.  

In my wording, I have deliberately set out to put off the person new to OO from
changing the file associations.  This is because those who know what they want
will not be put off from doing what they want.  However, we must protect those
who do not understand the full consequences of their actions from doing what
they don't want.  As it stands, the current wording of this dialog virtually
invites people to check the boxes.
