I've been playing with dbus switchboard for the last few days, trying to get it to work in every situation. It looks like I'm going to have to release a new version of Easy Debian (to fix a few bugs revealed by this), but when I do, you'll be able to click on a Word document in an e-mail attachment and have it open in OpenOffice Writer.

pipeline, please add .jar and .jnlp as filetypes, and I'll keep messing about to get Easy Debian passing parameters properly, so that (debbie java -jar "%params%") will work to open Java applets, and (debbie javaws "%params%") will open Java Web Start applets.

A workaround for the problems with parameters that the "debbie" script is having is to replace "debbie" in the Easy Debian handlers with "sudo debian hilda" ... this works as expected.
