I read/create/edit files via a WebDAV mount from an OpenGroupware Coils <http://www.opengroupware.us> server every day. > The effect is most noticeable when trying to open a LibreOffice / > OpenOffice file.

Yes. I've never seen LibreOffice be able to use files over WebDAV, at least for several of the server's I've experimented with. >There are several reports on the web of the above problem, most > attributed to LibreOffice, but on further investigation this appears > to be a problem with the .gvfs folder, and it's just that LibreOffice > is a minority application that uses this directly.
