William,

It would be _great_ if you could figure out what those documents mime-
types are.  I've built a new redhat-menus package that should have this
fixed (see #137520), but it will still require a new OOo build after
that redhat-menus makes it through into rawhide.

But anyway, if you can find out what mime type Evolution _thinks_ those
files are, then we could make absolutely sure that the OOo desktop file
lists taht type as "supported".
