That's the point: ooo2 doesn't exist in Dapper but it appears above 
others in the Applications menu and it is the default application for 
ooo documents in Nautilus.

After some research with Google, I found that the buggy 
/etc/gnome/defaults.list alias /usr/share/applications/defaults.list is 
the cause of the Nautilus bug. I could not find yet the buggy 
configuration file responsible for the menu bug but I corrected it 
through alacarte (after correcting first the smeg bug in the menus!).

These bugs reveal a feature problem (in Gnome? Ubuntu?): these questions 
are poorly documented for the average user and there is no "open with" 
editor or dialog at hand. If the configuration files received with the 
distribution are buggy (as is the case with Dapper), there is little an 
average user can do (except light a candle :-).
