[Bug 878822] [NEW] .docx filetype not associated with LibreOffice Writer by default

 

Public bug reported:

Situation: .odt and .doc files correctly, open in LibreOffice Writer.
.docx files on the other hand, despite having the expected LibreOffice
Writer icon, are opened by "Archive Manager" by default.

What I expected to happen: .docx filetype would be associated with LibreOffice Writer by default and thus be opened by that program. 
 
Information: 
Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit 
LibreOffice 3.4.3 "OOO340m1 (Build:302)" 
Default, fresh install of Ubuntu
