In the spreadsheet module at least, I don't get a warning if I open a file & 
that file is already opened by another user on the network.

I think this is a necessary feature.

If it's already there it should be turned on by default.

If a file is alraedy in use it would be nice to give some initial
information about its status (who opened it, why it is is read-only).

This issue seems to be very quiet, possibly because if done properly, it could
be very complicated.

In the meantime, how about a very simple (but less flexible) solution? When you
open a file, OO Calc could record the date stamp. Then, when you try to save
(i.e. overwrite) the file, Calc would first check if the date stamp is still the
same. If not, the user would receive a warning something like "File has been
changed by another user since opening. Do you wish to overwrite it or save to a
different file?"
