Just a heads up - I didn't read the whole thread but I suspect this is 
the normal lack of desktop integration which others have brought up. 
This happens because of mixing the TDF package with the distro packages. 
You must completely purge your system of all libreoffice stuff if you 
are going from a distro build to a TDF build (the document foundation 
from libreoffice.org). If you install TDF package over distro package 
you hit snags. We are going to update release notes in the future to 
reflect this but in general I (and many others) recommend not upgrading 
until your distro packages LibreOffice into their repos OR from official 
PPA's as many don't now what completely purging means or know how to do 
it exactly and then run into these kind of problems.
