Sorry Aaron, could you explain me what you mean?
I know that I can acces to remote docs using kioslaves and save them directly, 
but only if I'm using KDE apss, of course.

Do you mean that you can use kioslaves with non KDE apps to modify docs 
directly in the server???

I didn't note differences between kioslaves:
- Using KDE apps I can use all the kioslaves perfectly.
- Using non KDE apps I can use no kioslaves.

Why?

Why not? I can open and modify files in the server vis smb kioslave as any 
kioslave.

I'm annoying! Can you explain that please? thanks a lot, of course.

Do you think Gtk apps should support the KDE kioslaves? anyway I think it will 
never occur.

Unfortunately she needs OpenOffice because she knows how yo use it pefertly.


Thanks for your response, bye!
