I'm not entirely surprised at the read only thing (see
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/3827/doc-files-open-as-read-
only/) though I'm a little surprised about the inconsistent behavior
that under some file managers that happens and under others, it doesn't.
That's not really relevant here, but may be worth some investigating.

My past experience tells me that the dialog about the file being locked
for editing comes up when someone using the share has the file open and
someone else tries to open it. Another possibility is if someone has it
open and then their system/LibreOffice crashes. I haven't investigated
this but I suspect a lock file is being used to indicate whether or not
it's being used.

The output from PCManFM-Qt is actually quite useful. Those "file monitor
cannot be created" warnings originate from some SMB-specific code. It
would be interesting to compare this to what Thunar is doing, so if you
could test it, that would be great.

As always, thank you, Leó!
