Hello Jay,

Thanks for the reply. I've just tried moving .libreoffice
to .libreoffice.sav (the contents of which are a single directory called
3-suse) and starting libreoffice. The results are unchanged:

- I type libreoffice in a terminal. I see a window with icons and labels
saying Text Document, Spreadsheet etc.

- Nothing apparently happens if I choose File/Open but clicking on a
button results in a new document of the appropriate type.

- Quitting the program may be interesting:
  - It quits normally if I just start it and then File/Exit
  - It quits normally if I start it, create a new document and then
    File/Exit
  - but if I start it and then choose File/Open it subsequently fails
    to quit and CPU goes to 100%. The running process is 
     /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin -splash-pipe=5

I apreciate that something may have broken or scrambled something (other
install or an update perhaps). My problem is working out what and how to
fix it :)

strace shows some unedifying stuff. I was hopeful there might be some
more intelligible logging available.
