I downloaded Lucid and ran it as a live CD.  The problem remains exactly as
described.  I can download and then open PDFs, RTFs, but not ODTs, for which
I get a "not found" or "unknown type" error depending upon exactly what I
do.

Thank you for your attention to it.  Thank you.

As a side note, I don't think I'll upgrade to Lucid. I prefer the look and
feel of Karmic; also, Lucid's web fonts were poorly rendered on the live CD.
That might be fixable were I to upgrade, but I have Karmic working as I
like.  If GVFS were working better, that would have changed my mind as I
miss the functionality, but I'm making do.
