Hello again. I searched google and IRC (#<email address hidden>) for some things.
Here's what I found :

I changed in my /usr/share/applications/ooo-*.desktop %U by %F so that it will use filesystem path instead of "virtual" (and thus use ~/.gvfs/).

Now I can open files through Nautilus in OOo without problem; I can save them without problem, so long I don't try to override them.
And just now, as I'm trying to export a odt file to PDF through OOo export, it returns me a really strange error :
"Error saving the document test:
/home/<user>/.gvfs/path/to/file.pdf on fileserver/test.pdf does not exist."
hu ?! How comes it takes now my path from smb share??

Another funny thing I discover yesterday : "ooffice -writer" does NOT work as "oowriter"! See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/261148 for more informations.

All this stuff is really strange. I found on google multiple threads regarding problem with OOo and network filesystem, especially samba sharing.

I don't know what I can do for this stuff.... maybe simply use the old and ugly hack we used on gutsy, but as said, it's really ugly. mounting smb share in userspace is really nice -.-
