        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: .desktop files installed by .deb archive in
                    /opt/openoffice4/share/xdg are not executables

           Version: 4.2.0-dev

  Target Milestone: ---

This report is about version 4.1.8 but I could not select it.

Files installed by .deb archive for x86_64 architecture are not "executable" by
KDE because:
 1- they are not owned by root (but rather UID 500 and GID 500),
 2- they do not have the executable bit set.

This is happening on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS x86_64.

When clicking on any of the OpenOffice entries in the Applications -> Office
KDE menu, a warning appears: "This will start the program: openoffice4 %U. If
you do not trust this program, click Cancel".

When confirming, another error message appears:
"Unable to make the service OpenOffice 4.1.8 executable, aborting execution"

Two quick fixes are possible:
 - make all .desktop files in /opt/openoffice4/share/xdg executable, or
 - make all .desltop files in /opt/openoffice4/share/xdg owned by root.
