[Bug 15451] Re: Ubuntu / SMB network error using documnets

[steve]

Update:
SuSE10 SLED, this is the enterprise desktop GOLD release

To recap I have two servers, one set with samba in share mode, the other in user mode and we are trying to narrow down a networking bug in file sharing in openoffice.
SuSE KDE - browse to share mode server, select word doc, left click - I have the option to open on openoffice 2 x.x The file opens just fine, I make some changes and viola the changes are saved on the server. 
Next test, I browse to server in user mode, a popup asked me for a username and passord, I apply the appropriate details, I next select a word doc, it opens fine and I make changes and it saves the changes just fine, the changes are confirmed upon re-opening. 

So in SuSE10 we have a working openoffice and KDE, HOWEVER, there are limitations, I was unable to use the save-as feature in any of the examples above - this is where the popup box complaining about the smb protocol is not supported in openoffice makes itself known. I googled and found an interesting chat about the very same thing.

I cannot put a finger on which program is cause the issue, has
openoffice had more work done on it for Gnome inter operation, is it a
KDE limitation?  Either way it should be escalated to a high priority,
especially if KDE/Kubuntu are interested in the desktop.
