Open Office File Locking Issues

In open office when a user has a doc open and another user goes to open the same doc it automatically open the document. In the title bar you can see (read only) but many of my users miss this. Is there a way like in office to pop up a message saying this file is in use and who it is in use by? Also when a word user opens a file in user by an open office user it list "some user" not the actual user name.

Any advice would help a lot.

Thanks

Also, since this issue is not precisely the same as what you are looking for, you could file your own issue.

In the meantime, training may be the best solution.
