I've recently converted grandma's pc and everything has been a big
success.  The only issue I can't solve is getting a double click in gmc
to open applicable documents with staroffice.

running woody, 2.4.17.

I have tried the following:

1.  adding appropriate lines in .mailcap and /etc/mailcap.  Apparently
gmc pays no attention to these.

2.  adding appropriate lines to /usr/share/mime-info/mc.keys.  No luck
there.

3.  using gnome control center -> document handlers -> file types and
programs.  Using this I can get gmc to display the correct icons, but
using a command like '/usr/local/staroffice6.0/program/soffice %f' fails
because gmc only passes the filename and staroffice expects the full
path.

If I am missing something obvious please let me know.  Otherwise, the
only way to get it to work may be edit the soffice launching script so
that it doesn't change the working directory.
