koffice as root only

[David Purton <dcpurton@chariot.net.au>]

Hi I installed some of the debs from koffice, just to see what they were
like, but I can only run them as root.

NB I'm not running KDE so I realise that this could be a problem

kword and kspread run fine as root

but when I try to run them as a normal user I get this error:

dcpurton@twoflower:~$ kword &
[1] 2976
dcpurton@twoflower:~$ koffice (lib
kofficecore): WARNING: Office/kword.desktop: no X-KDE-NativeMimeType
entry!
koffice (lib kofficecore): ERROR: Couldn't find the native MimeType in
kword's desktop file. Check your installation !
kdeinit: Fatal IO error: client killed


I've checked /usr/share/applnk/Office/kword.desktop

and it does indeed contain an X-KDE-NativeMimeType entry


what is wrong?

as fast as possible, so they can hurry up again in order
to rush down again.  In a way this is funny,...
