You have been subscribed to a public bug: In Oneiric, you cannot change the program used to open a file to a non-standard program. I use the daily build of Libreoffice, which is loaded in the /opt/ folder. There is no way I can get to the program from the oeneric interface other than by calling the program up in a terminal. This is incredibly inconvenient.
