I can confirm the problem experienced by HubertB and André Madureira is happening with me too. Ubuntu 11.10 64bit, with kde-desktop, accessing files on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server. - When opening remote file through Dolphin, opens a local copy in LibreOffice Calc at /var/tmp/kdecache-<username>/krun/... and adds numbers to the start of the file name (i.e. the remote file test.ods would be opened as something like 8310.0.test.ods in the above /var/temp/ address). - Opening the same remote file through the "Open" icon in LibreOffice Calc opens it properly, from the remote address. - Opening the same file through Nautilus (while still in KDE) opens it properly, from the remote address. - I can confirm the same behaviour above with KeePassX (password manager) and Gnumeric but both VLC and gwenview seem to work properly when opening remote audio and picture files through Dolphin. It appears that the fault maybe with the way Dolphin opens these Network shares and cannot properly pass the correct path of the file to the application, so it save a local copy of the file and then passes that to the application. This is a major problem in a business/corporate environment where accessing remote files is the norm.
