John, I've not been able to replicate your problem (3.4.3 linux - .deb
files using Ubuntu 10.10, 10.4, or 11.04 - LibreOffice 3.4.3 OOO340m1
(Build:302)).

If I change the document path & reboot the path remains. My recent
documents also show the most recent. This sounds like it may be a
profile issue.

Several questions:

1. What is the output of:

$ cat /opt/libreoffice3.4/program/bootstraprc

2. $ locate versionrc

3. $ ls /opt/libre*

4. And last:

$ ls ~/.libre*
