Hello Stephan
No idea about that either (I think Michael Stahl has previously been exposed
heavily to locking, maybe he has some input), just two comments on the
patch:
+bool IsLockingUsed()
+{
+    bool bLocking = true;
+    try
+    {
+
+        uno::Reference< uno::XInterface > xCommonConfig =
::comphelper::ConfigurationHelper::openConfig(
+                            ::comphelper::getProcessServiceFactory(),
+                            ::rtl::OUString( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM(
"/org.openoffice.Office.Common" ) ),
+                            ::comphelper::ConfigurationHelper::E_STANDARD
);
+        if ( !xCommonConfig.is() )
+            throw uno::RuntimeException();
+
+        ::comphelper::ConfigurationHelper::readRelativeKey(
+                xCommonConfig,
+                ::rtl::OUString( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM( "Misc/" )
),
+                ::rtl::OUString( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM(
"UseLocking" ) ) ) >>= bLocking;
+    }
+    catch( const uno::Exception& )
+    {
+    }
+
+    return bLocking;
+}
can be reduced to
#include "officecfg/Office/Common.hxx"
bool IsLockingUsed()
{
   return officecfg::Office::Common::Misc::UseLocking::get(
       comphelper::getProcessComponentContext());
}
Wow that looks much better.
(I haven't announced this new C++ API yet, as some issues about
change-notification are not yet completely thought out for it.  Shame on me,
should really do that soon.)
And
+ <oor:component-data oor:name="Common"
oor:package="org.openoffice.Office">
+  <node oor:name="Misc">
+    <prop oor:name="UseDocumentSystemFileLocking">
+      <value>false</value>
+    </prop>
+    <prop oor:name="UseDocumentOOoLockFile">
+      <value>false</value>
+    </prop>
+  </node>
+ </oor:component-data>
should instead set "UseLocking" to false, right?
Oh yes of course. That happens if you're editing both the file in test
and the copy in solver ;)
