[Bug 49417] Double-clicking a word processing document in Nautilus gives no result

[Dominique Meeùs]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

New Ubuntu Dapper installation, French.
In Nautilus, OpenOffice.org2 writer is the default for Microsoft Word and OpenOffice documents. Double-clicking such a document in Nautilus gives no result (because ooffice2 does not exist in /usr/bin?).
How to change association of a file type with a default (or other) application seems to be a well preserved secret so that most users cannot correct this themselves.
(In Gnome also, menu Applications/Bureautique/OpenOffice.org2 writer is proposed as first but does not function. But OpenOffice.org word processor does.)

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
