Title:
  libreoffice's file dialogue has gvfs problems

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libreoffice

  When trying to work on a samba share mounted via gvfs-mount the Open-
  File dialogue of libreoffice does not work. (System Ubuntu 11.04,
  natty)

  To reproduce:
  1) mount a samba share with the gvfs-mount command (example: "gvfs-mount smb://myserver/myshare")

  2) open libreoffice writer (or calc, or whatever)

  3) go to the menu -> file -> open

  4) now go the the share mounted via gvfs

  5) try to open any odt/ods/... file

  6) nothing will happen

  Next try:
  1) open nautilus

  2) open the mounted share

  3) click any odt/ods/... file to open it

  4) libreoffice will open and you can try to modify the file (thus,
  this way you actually CAN open opendocument files stored on a samba
  share)

  5) try to save your changes

  6) error dialogue pops up

  Thus:
  Libreoffice is not usable in an work environment where windows and ubuntu computers work on folders shared by samba. (By the way: windows pcs work fine with the shares)

  I tested the behaviour on five pcs, all installed with ubuntu 11.04
  (natty). All showed the same error.

  The only workaround was to install/configure an nfs server for the
  linux pcs. (Which is no workaround at all).
