Hmm, did you update to kdelibs-2.2-alpha without recompiling koffice ?
I didn'y think of it, but the new KTar stuff in kdelibs _needs_ that koffice
sends it the mimetype to use when opening the file..... whoops, not good
for compatibility.....

Hmm, I don't see how to solve this problem, so that kdelibs-2.2-* knows
that it needs a gzip filter for koffice file, without koffice telling it :(
(The old KTar only supported gzipped files, so it didn't need to be told what to use....)
Maybe I could make KTar default to gzip-or-uncompressed when it can't
find the mimetype, for compat reasons....

Can you apply this to kdelibs/kio/, recompile kio, make install, and try again ?

Do NOT recompile koffice yet - it will surely fix it, but it shouldn't be necessary
to do so when updating kdelibs-2.1.x to kdelibs-2.2 ! This would break it for
all binary-packages users.

No, no attachments indeed :)
