Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

When opening a file with konqueror or nautilus I think, you can not open
up office documents over the network.

A simple fix is to do the following:
Look at your MIME settings in konqueror. There you will find that openoffice 
documents are set like:
 
 "ooffice -writer %U"
 
 if you change that to
 
 "ooffice -writer %f"
 
 the file will be copied to a temp directory before its opened. If it changes, 
konqueror is smart enough to ask if it should upload the new version.

Why is this not the default? A bug has been reporting ages ago and yet
this is still the case?

Isn't this a one minute bug fix? Can it be done please? :)

Thanks
