           Summary: Please make kate (or kwrite, kedit) primary handler for
                    text files instead of OOo
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: kubuntu
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: kcontrol
        AssignedTo: debzilla at ubuntu.com

It is not optimal to have OpenOffice (takes forever to open on most systems) as primary choice for handling all 
kinds of text files. Please make kate/krwite/kedit the default in KDE's file association setup for *.txt and other 
ASCII file extensions (also for files without a . (dot) extension, such as README or ChangeLog). 
 
Besides taking a long time to open, OOo is really not the nicest choice for editing simple text files, or hacking 
code for that matter.
