Bug Description
I have recently installed a fresh copy of kubuntu 5.10 and I notice entries in the create new right click menu
for "Text Document", "Spreadsheet Document", "Presentation Document" and "Illustration Document". All of
these options create a file but none of them appear usable. After creating the documents only the
Illustration document opens in an application when left clicked and that is Ark. All the other documents
require an application to be chosen to open them - I assume that would be a Koffice application - if koffice
was installed - which it isn't by default.
Steps to reproduce:
Right click the desktop
Choose Create new
Choose Text Document
Left click the created file

I can confirm this with Kubuntu Dapper. It seems that "Create New | Text Document, Presentation Document etc." produce KOffice documents. Many of us do not have KOffice but OpenOffice.org instead.
