Please note that using those "applications" doesn't help in OOo1.x, but it will work in OOo2.0 (as mentioned by myself several times). So please read my comment about "the way to go" (as quoted above) as a description of the next OOo release. The current version has definitely a defect here. By using the swriter, scalc etc. applications for system registration of file type (extensions on Windows, MimeTypes on Linux) most of the problems mentioned here will go away. For the remaining problems I agree with Lars that we need some data about "normal" users, otherwise our discussion will go around in circles (IMHO it already does).
