A related issue that is probably common in mixed environments:
The company I work for uses MS Windows *and* Linux.
Office documents reside on a SMB share.
As long as only MS Office / Windows is used users are notified
if they're trying to edit a document someone else has opened.
But if I do it from my Linux machine this does not work:
I browse the share using the smb:// protocol and click
a document. The file is downloaded, OpenOffice comes up,
I make my changes, save it and exit.
Then KDE asks me if I want to upload my version.
This overwrites any concurrent changes made by colleagues.
>From a user's point of view (and from the PHB's) this is critical
because hours of work may be lost that way, without even noticing.
At least at first :-).
(Yes, this is not koffice-specific, but that's what the original
wish states, too.)
