[Launchpad Bug Tracker <854124@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package glib2.0 - 2.30.0-0ubuntu1

---------------
glib2.0 (2.30.0-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New upstream release for GNOME 3.2 final:
    - This release contains an ABI change: code written by the GDBus code
      generation in this version of GLib is not compatible with earlier
      versions of the library (and vice versa)
    - desktop file handling: avoid mimeapps.list corruption issue
    - info capplet: Failed to calculate disk space. (LP: #805504)
    - _set_as_last_used_for_type generates a broken mimeapps.list
      (LP: #854124)
    - Various bug fixes.
    - Translation updates.
  * 01_gettext-desktopfiles.patch, 04_homedir_env.patch: Refresh to apply
    cleanly.
  * debian/libglib2.0-0.symbols: Update to new upstream version,
    g_slice_debug_tree_statistics() was dropped. (Not part of official API,
    not documented.)
  * debian/control.in: Add Breaks: to the nautilus and gnome-online-accounts
    versions which were built with the previous unstable gdbus-codegen
    version, these need a rebuild. While this doesn't actually break nautilus,
    it's safer to do so.

Bug description:
  In 11.10, gedit is the default file handler for .doc files. I expected
  the default handler to be libreoffice-writer, which is the default
  handler for .docx and other filetypes used by MS Office.

  gedit is pretty bad at opening .doc files (at least the ones I've
  tried). The effect on the user is that double-clicking a doc-file
  fails to display the file.

  To reproduce:
  * Double-click any .doc file

  Alternatively:
  In a terminal, 'touch foo.doc && touch foo.docx'
  Double-click each foo* file; foo.doc opens in gedit and foo.docs opens in LibreOffice.

  I believe this is a regression from 11.04; I first noticed it after
  upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 beta 1.
