Well I wonder why the askubuntu posting wanted only the "gtk" purged and 
reinstalled instead of the whole upgrades from one version of LO to the 
newest version?

I normally do a replace instead of a purge, but this last time I did the 
purge from 5.2.x to 5.3.5.  Having some issues with "phantom" 
buttons/dialogs not removing itself from the window after it is closed.  
But will see if it goes away, or if it only happens when I have a large 
amount of colored tiles in the Writer/Web document.
