I think it may have been partly the way my system is set up.

I have KDE [full package] installed as well as 12.04's default packages 
and MATE desktop environment's packages.  It may be that KDE part of the 
system say that LO 3.5.4 was removed so it added AdiWord when I did the 
process using Synaptic Package Manager.  I keep forgetting about the 
"apt-get remove" command.  I do not use the Terminal much, even after 
using Ubuntu 9.10 for a few months till 10.04 came out, then 10.04 till 
Monday.

I do not use the LO ppa, but install LO from the Debian download offered 
by the LO download site.

10.04 had no problems with opening the ".oxt" extension files in the 
archive managers.  For some reason that was the default and not opening 
it up in LO.  I have not tried to edit my dictionaries with 12.04, yet, 
but will be working on adding more words later as I have time to build 
the python scripts to do some data-mining of documents to find any 
missing words and checking if their spellings are correct.  I have been 
wanting to do this for months, but not had the time to do the work 
correctly.
