"Here's another one for you.  Another SuSE 9.2 machine using Thunderbird 
for E-Mail.  This is a fairly recent install of Thunderbird.  Any 
emails 
received with a .doc attachment, Thunderbird tries to open with Open 
Office 1.1. I have OO 2.0 installed on the machine.  If I save the file 
to disk and try to open it outside of Thunderbird, it opens in OO 2.0 
just fine.  But if I try to open it within Thunderbird, it always tries 
to pull OO 1.1.  I've gone through all the pref.js and related config 
stuff and I can find nothing."

It's in your config files. I have the same problem here, have fixed some but am
too lazy to find/fix all of them. Mozilla, KDE apps, etc on different logins
all need to be updated to show the new OO2.0 instead of the older 1.xx. OO2
installs into /opt and OO1.xx installs into /usr/local so your search should be
fairly easy. If you want to spend the time, that is.
