Ok, parts of this is solved:

You get errors and problems nowadays if you mount network shares with anfstab-entry like the above.
The recommended way to use a network share is clearly to use places - connect to share and set a bookmark.
Then you use the bookmark at first_access, when you need it. No more static fstab entry for a network share.

If you work this way, Gedit and Bluefish will work now, like I said in the last comment

What remains is a problem with OOo:

Steps to reproduce (assuming you have created a bookmark for your network share before):

1. Start Intrepid (Updates as of 17.10.)
2. Log into Gnome
3. Start OO-Writer
4. Type something and save
5. Select the network share from the bookmarks left. It will show up.
6. Enter a name and hit save
7. Now we get a strange password dialogue. If I put my password in and hit "OK" i get the following error: "Fehler beim Speichern des Dokuments Unbenannt1: Ein allgemeiner Fehler im Internetbereich trat auf." Hit "OK" and I get the error from above: Fehler beim Speichern des Dokumentes Unbenannt1: Allgemeiner Fehler. Allgemeiner Ein-/Ausgabefehler. (Hit Ok)
(Translation: Error saving document unnamed1: a common error in the internet zone occured." and "Common error. Common Input/Output error"
8. The document is no not saved on the share

However, if I try it IMMEDIATELY again now:
9. Close OOO writer
10. Start OOO writer
11.Type something and save
12. Now I use the created entry for my network share (the bookmark is gone because I already mounted it before)
13. Enter a name and hit save

It works!

If I wait for some minutes and repeat steps 10-13 it will fail again.

I guess there is some kind of timeout? It has clearly (for me) to do with openoffice not getting information from gvfs.
