Re: [libreoffice-users] desktop-integration

Heinrich,
Have you tried bringing LibreOffice up with "soffice" in a terminal 
shell, or unambiguously, "/opt/libreoffice4.1/program/soffice" (less 
quotes, of course)?
If that works, then you could manually add a link in your menu or at 
least an icon on your desktop.
soffice is the main libreoffice program or, more accurately, script, 
that invokes the other programs (Writer, Calc, etc.). If that program is 
not run first, then the others may not be initialized properly to run.

You could also run writer, calc, etc. from a terminal and see what 
messages are output from it. They may give you a clue as to why it isn't 
running properly. But my bet is on soffice.

FYI: "soffice" is a legacy name from the StarOffice days. Maybe some day 
the devs will get around to changing that - unless it would break something.

Hope this helps.
