I just realized that on Fedora 16 at least with the LXDE DE the .libreoffice folder is kept under the .config folder in the users home folder. It used to be directly in the home folder. Anyway I did get it to crash again when closing this one and only one spreadsheet. Through several trial and error delete and restore of different folders/files I had found the culprit, which makes it even more confusing to me.
I keep a copy of my wife's expense report template from her job in the template folder (/home/me/.config/.libreoffice/3/user/template) that is a MS Excel template format. When I deleted the file it stopped crashing, but restoring the file the crashing starts again. Now opening this file, which I have a desktop icon that launches it for me, and then closing it does not cause a crash, but opening my budget spreadsheet in ods and then closing it will cause a crash. Again delte the xlt file and no more crashing. What gives?

Just an update. Due to problems I started having with the XFCE DE, i did a fresh install of Fedora 16 using the LXDE DE restoring my configuration files from the "old" system. I am now running LO with the original .libreoffice folder that was causing the crash with no further problems for now. So I'm not sure what in particular caused the crash for one file in just one DE.

I had finally just settled on blowing off my .libreoffice folder saving the contents of the template sub-folder, and redoing the changes to the registrymodifications.xcu file and all was good. Then along came an update from Fedora and now any changes made to the registry will cause the app to crash upon closing this one file. I don't know what it is about this file that is causing this to happen. I have even copied back in a version of the file before all of this started and that will cause the app to crash as well. 

Any suggestions?

Hi :)
My guess would be it's an extension. So i would start by copying the
~/.libreoffice/3/user/extensions
folder across and see if that crashed LO when you re-open it. There are 16 items in the 
~/.libreoffice/3/user
folder so i would move half, 8. Test. Then move a remaining half, 4 ... and so on until LO crashes and then delete the half you just added and add half that back in. By doing half each time you can narrow it down quite quickly.
It is probably obvious to you but a lot of people would do this 1 file in 1 sub-folder at a time and perhaps draw-up a tick list on paper. [big yawn]

I was planning on doing that at a
later time. I'll pass on any info I
get out of this to the list. I was basically putting
feelers out to see
if anyone had this happen to them and if so what did they
find to fix
it, to possibly narrow it down some.

It's unlikely to be the change of DE.  Apparently

the config folder / user-profile can be copied from Windows
to a Gnu&Linux and mostly works from Gnu&Linux to
Windows so a change of DE 'should be' relatively minor.

Have you been able to try copying chunks from your old

KDE user-profile into the newer profile to regain extensions
and things?  Ahah, maybe an extension is getting
confused.  Most of the sub-folders from your old KDE
profile should copy across fine.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

I recently installed Fedora 16 Beta
on my main system using xfce for my DE. At first I

had no

problems with any LO documents, but when I

restored my

.libreoffice folder from a backup of my Fedora 15

system I

suddenly started experiencing crashes. I narrowed

it down to

one specific spreadsheet that would consistently

crash

("Process

/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin was

killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)"). This had suddenly

started

after I had done the restore of .libreoffice

folder. I

renamed this folder so that the program would then

recreate

the default settings and the crashing has stopped.

I could

just leave it as is and continue from there, but I

was

curious as to what could have been the actual

culprit. My

backed up Fedora 15 system was using KDE for the

DE, could

the change from KDE to xfce have had a negative

impact on

just this one spreadsheet?
