After talking to some of the other OpenOffice.org developers it appears full gvfs support will be in 3.0.0 so this may not be a big issue for OOo in Intrepid after all. Also due to other bugs I have seen in Hardy surrounding gvfs-fuse support its probably not worth changing the desktop files for OOo in hardy-updates, unless those other bugs are fixed as well. > > I think someone also mentioned possibly changing something in > > nautilus, maybe to do this automatically, but I wasn't clear on what > > was being talked about with respect to nautilus. > > That was indeed a quick straw-man, but there might be connections > supported by gvfs which cannot be (properly) presented through a fuse > mount.

I'm not sure if that was bug has been filed by anyone else yet. Chris -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
