Bug Description
Pop an openoffice document on a sftp:// 'share' under gnome, attempt to open. File will open in read-only mode, even if permissions are otherwise correct.
A text-file in the same directory, will open in read-write mode with no problems in gedit, which eliminates gnome-vfs.
From memory, early versions of breezy worked fine (as did FC4).
***WORKAROUND by Guttorm Flatabø:
Gvfs has its own folder in the home folder called .gvfs where you can access all gvfs mounted drives. If I navigate to the file and open it through Nautilus, OOo will open it read-only.

I am also experiencing this bug in Dapper beta 1. Even opening the same text file with openoffice and gedit produces the results described above.
