Kubuntu, OpenOffice, and icon profiles

[Evan Leibovitch]

This quandry has stymied me for months and I'm not even sure if the
answer is with Kubuntu. KDE or OpenOffice.

Specifically, I have no idea how to enable previews (oriewing metadata)
for OpenOffice/ODT files under Kubuntu (KDE 3.5.9) . For reasons I can't
explain I have it working on one Kubuntu system but not another -- so I
know it _can_ work.

Everything else -- graphic files, PDFs, even video files -- preview fine
under both Konqueror and Dolphin on both systems. I've enabled
everything I can using the KDE control panel.

Any pointers (especially general documentation on how KDE / Kubuntu
handles previews, icon watermarks, etc) are appreciated.
