One day later, computer restarted at least twice since last time,
still nothing else in the ”Create document” list than ”Empty file”.

Files in my folder ~/Mallar (the Swedish templates folder which was
created by the system, not by me) are:
Bash-skript.sh (a text file with the bash header included from start)
Kalkylark.ods (an empty ODF spreadsheet)
Textdokument.odt (an empty ODF text document)

And I think I didn't mention my operating system: Ubuntu 10.10 (I know
it's no longer supported, and I will upgrade eventually, but it seems
like I never have time for that…)


Kind regards
