Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  Ubuntu Karmic - recent upgrade from Jaunty - also moved from Gnome to
  KDE

  Open Office under KDE can't save files to my Maxtor NAS drive. If I
  navigate to a file, all the folder names are displayed as numbers
  rather than letters. If I try to create a new file on the the NAS
  drive, an empty file is created, and then Open Office displays a
  General IO error.

  OpenOffice continues to work correctly if I switch the desktop to
  Gnome

  A little more info - in the cases described above, I was connecting to the
  NAS using the "Network / Samba Shares" option in the Open Office file
  manager.

  I also have the files system mounted using the following entry in
  fstab

  /MAXTOR/GREENOCK /media/network/greenock cifs
  credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
  0 0

  If I access the files via the mount point, I can update an existing file,
  but "SaveAs" gives a General Input/Ouput error, and creates an empty file
  with the correct name

  ccheney - note

  This appears to be an issue with kernel cifs mounting possibly with
  mand option, versus when using gnome and gvfs-fuse which does not use
  regular cifs method to access files. This does not appear to be KDE
  specific. Try using the cifs nobrl option to see if this helps.
