I am really sorry. I was hoping options in the "open with" dialog. Then 
I searched for a configuration file. To that point my search was 
unsuccesful and I felt the need to stress that the bug was rather 
serious for the users. (My aim was not to fix /my/ issue but maybe a 
/general/ issue.) I did not mean to attack anybody but I must admit that 
my style was quite inappropriate.

I felt still more sorry for having written this when somebody pointed 
out to me, afterwards, that it was very easy to change file associations 
through file properties. (I didn't look there at first, thinking: file 
properties is about /one/ file at a time, like permissions, my problem 
is about a /type/ of file.)

I did updatedb just now and found (sudo root) no ooo2-writer.desktop in 
my box. My only ooo2*.desktop systemwide is 
.local/share/applications/ooo2-calc-usercustom.desktop. I do not 
remember having deleted the ooo2*.desktop while trying to solve the 
problem but I cannot be 100 % sure. Next time I'll write down 
immediately what I do :-)
