View Document Source opens OOo, doesn't show html source

[bcrowell]

A stock version of Konqueror handles View Document Source using kwrite or kate or kedit. Ubuntu has changed this to OOo. However, when OOo opens the html file, it doesn't actually display the html source code. Instead, it shows a graphical rendering of the web page.

openoffice.org is not a part of kdebase, moving source package.

Not sure where this should go but it isn't a bug in openoffice.org. On Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) it opens in Firefox just as it always has, perhaps there is something wrong with mime-handling on Kubuntu/KDE?

I'm pretty sure it was never explicitly set to open in OO.o. I do think that this was fixed in Kubuntu 9.04.
