I still have this problem with a freshly installed Kubuntu 11.10.
System Settings -> File Associations shows the correct associations (I even removed Ark without success)

The following problems seems to be present:
* When opening a xlsm or docx file, the dialog gives the option to open the file with LibreOffice Calc/Writer. But when clicking this button Ark is started.
* When choosing another application and manually picking LibreOffice Calc/Writer everything works as expected
* Updating the file association during manually picking LibreOffice does not work for the next time
