The problem of @Matheod was that the normal message telling the user who has
locked the file was "nickname used on Internet". This was a user error, when
user opened a file on some system, then was attempting to open the same file on
another system (and got a legitimate warning - usually in a network
environment, this message allows one to know whom to ask to close the file),
and the specific situation was that the display was demonstrated to some other
people at that time, and user wanted to not show the nickname to those other
people. Quite a complex combination, with a simple solution: in your
LibreOffice, enter "nickname *not* used on Internet" in Options, instead of
"nickname used on Internet".

However, the idea to hide the details under a "[+] Show Details" in the dialog
looks unproblematic, and if someone wants to implement it, please do. So both
WONTFIX and EASYHACK seem appropriate to me.
