After upgrading my Abiword 2.0.x to 2.2.2 yesterday, I now
noticed that ALL my text-based files are now defaulting to
AbiWord and that's very annoying because even simple files
like READMEs or Makefiles are now opening with AbiWord.
AbiWord didn't even ask me if I wanted to have this change
done. Now, my Gnome is pretty annoying and changing back all
these kinds of files with Nautilus' new mime system is
daunting at best. Please don't let Abiword change all these
mime types, but maybe, only for .doc or .abw files. For the
simple text files, we have gedit, leafpad, emacs, vi etc, we
don't need Abiword to behave an uninvited guest.

This task depends upon
We are delivering a 3rd party product as part of the distro, if you find packaging bugs or stuff that doesn't work, file it here. If you find errors that are clearly upstream, please file them upstream.
As for the upstream bugs, I completely disagree. All bugs encountered on a distro, must be filed on the distro by the users. If a bug is indeed upstream, the developers of the distro should either file the bug upstream themselves and/or submit patches. That's how the industry works and that's how it should be working. The user should never --ever-- be searching for who did what and why. That's how you can create a well-thought project. Not by pulling the "we are open source people, working in our time, spare us" story.
