I did have the problem with OpenOffice.org not beeing able to open
documents with Scandinavian characters. I was able to fix it by changing
encoding from ISO.8859-1 to UTF-8. It solved the problem and has caused
no grief (I'm running Warty btw).

Creating a .sxw-file with Scandinavian characters and opening it in
OpenOffice.org works just fine. Nautlius recognises the file as a sxw as
well. I tested with the following locales:
	
	en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
	fi_FI.UTF-8 UTF-8
	sv_SE.UFT-8 UTF-8

To switch loacale run 
	sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
pick a UFT-8 encoding for your locale, then login out and in again.
