** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: openoffice.org
  
  Ubuntu Karmic - recent upgrade from Jaunty - also moved from Gnome to
  KDE
  
  Open Office under KDE can't save files to my Maxtor NAS drive. If I
  navigate to a file, all the folder names are displayed as numbers rather
  than letters. If I try to create a new file on the the NAS drive, an
  empty file is created, and then Open Office displays a General IO error.
  
  OpenOffice continues to work correctly if I switch the desktop to Gnome

+ 
+ A little more info - in the cases described above, I was connecting to the
+ NAS using the "Network / Samba Shares" option in the Open Office file
+ manager.
+ 
+ I also have the files system mounted using the following entry in fstab
+ 
+ /MAXTOR/GREENOCK /media/network/greenock cifs
+ credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
+ 0 0
+ 
+ If I access the files via the mount point, I can update an existing file,
+ but "SaveAs" gives a General Input/Ouput error, and creates an empty file
+ with the correct name
+

+ 
+ ccheney - note
+ 
+ This appears to be an issue with kernel cifs mounting possibly with mand
+ option, versus when using gnome and gvfs-fuse which does not use regular
+ cifs method to access files. This does not appear to be KDE specific.
