If you previously installed OpenOffice, the problem is probably that you 
still have a file in: ".../share/mimelnk/".  This would not be in your 
"$HOME/.kde4/" directory since it is not a KDE app.  You should look for 
the 'desktop' file in:

	/usr/share/mimelnk/application/
	$HOME/.local/share/mimelnk/application/

and remove the obsolete 'desktop' files for OpenOffice.
