It wasn't OpenOffice.org that you had problems with, it was the system<br>
Nautilus uses to tell which files are which types. OpenOffice.org's<br>
documents, and Java archive files, and a few other things, are actually<br>
zip archive files containing what you're interested in (your document,<br>
etc). Nautilus seems to have trouble telling them all apart, and when<br>
some installed application stomps the system and says that *it* gets<br>
those file types, default applications for anything to do with zip<br>
archived files may get changed around.<br>

Pick on an odt file, in Nautilus (the Gnome file browser), open the file<br>
properties, and pick your default application, or add what you want if<br>
it's not in the list.<br>
<br>
Of course, now, you *might* be unable to double-click a Java archive,<br>
and have it do what you want. Likewise for double-clicking on a ZIP<br>
archive file. Nautilus seems a bit flakey at having different defaults<br>
for different uses of ZIP archived material.<br>
