Binary package hint: app-install-data

In Kubuntu Hardy KDE-4 Remix, if, in dolphin, I browse to a smb share
and try to open a file that is associated with OpenOffice (.doc, .ppt,
etc.), OpenOffice starts but dies before opening the file.

I found a workaround by changing %U to %f in the commands specified in
System Settings/File Associations. Apparently, this change causes
dolphin (or kio?) to download the file and hand OpenOffice the local
copy, rather than the smb: path.

I have no idea if this breaks something else, but it works for me, so
far.
