- open an arbitrary text document, let's name it doc.odt
=> besides doc.odt, a hidden lock file ".~lock.doc.odt#" is created
- do something which lets OOo crash :), or simply kill it
- delete doc.odt from your disc
- start OOo
- create a new text document
- save it as doc.odt, to the very same location as the original doc.odt
=> the document is not saved, instead an error message pops up saying
  Error saving document ...:
  Object not accessible.
  The object cannot be accessed
  due to insufficient user rights.

There are at least two problems with this:

First, of course when I save a file which previously did not exist, the OOo
should simply ignore the existing lock file, since it's obviously out-of-date,
and not connected to the file which I'm just going to write.

Second, if this is not easily possible (though I strongly think OOo should *not*
behave this way), then the error message needs to be improved. At least, OOo
should tell the user that there is a problem with the file lock. It took me
*days* to find out why the heck OOo refused to save a document to "doc.odt" 
here ...
