Bug#522090: openoffice.org-kde: Unable to open or save files on smb:// shares with KDE fpicker

[Nick Leverton <nick@leverton.org>]

Package: openoffice.org-kde
Version: 1:2.4.1-17+b1
Severity: normal

How to reproduce:

Turn off "Use Openoffice.org dialogs" in Options / Openoffice.org / General

1.  Use File/Open dialogue to navigate to a smb:// resource.
    Attempt to open a .doc or .odt file there

    What should happen: file opens for editing

    What actually happens: nothing.  Dialogue silently closes but doc
    is not opened.

2.  Open a new document in oowriter
    Use File/Save dialogue to navigate to an smb:// share and attempt
    to save as "test.odt"

    What should happen: file saved in SMB share

    What actually happens: Error dialogue: "Error saving the document
    test: Nonexistent object.  Path to the file does not exist."

I have tried both a Microsoft server share with M$ authentication
(to which I am already authenticated by having browsed to it in Konqueror)
and with a guest Samba share on localhost.

I have tried setting SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0 to eliminate locking issues.
