File type problem

[James Tappin]

I've probably missed something obvious, but I've been having problems 
persuading KDE to recognize OpenOffice files as such.

I've set up an OpenOffice menu item.
I've added an application/x-openoffice to the filetypes (defined with pattern 
*.sx?) and set its default application to OpenOffice.

The OO desktop file does indeed claim that it will open 
application/x-openoffice.

Despite this, KDE insists that my OpenOffice files are Zip archives and 
therefore wants to open them with ark (the Zip filetype has the expected 
patterns of *.zip and *.ZIP).

FWIW StarOffice files are recognized and OpenOffice is offered as alternative 
application.

This occurs both with KDE 2.2 (from distribution) with RH7.2 and with KDE3.0 
(from source tarballs) on SuSE 7.2

TIA for any pointers
	James
