Gnome 2.0 Openoffice integration
In case anyone else was trying to get Nautilius to launch
OpenOffice documents under Gnome 2.0, the fix is trivial.
While the OpenOffice documents are shown with the proper icons
under Gnome 2.0's Nautilius, right-clicking the files shows
there is no OpenOffice.org entry in the Open with submenu.
It turns out that gnome-vfs 2.0.x expects a binary for 'ooffice'
to be present. Once you add this as a symlink as follows...
ln -s /usr/bin/openoffice /usr/bin/ooffice
...these OpenOffice documents will be launchable into OpenOffice
by doubleclicking and the Open with submenu will show an
OpenOffice.org entry as the default. This won't work under Gnome 1.4
because the gnome-vfs in that version is brain-dead and mistakes
OpenOffice files for compressed zips. This is fixed in Gnome-vfs 2.0.x.
Anyway, just thought folks might be interested.

ps This is using the current OpenOffice.org 1.0.1-3 debian packages.
