I'm using personas under Linux without problem (LibO 5.4.6.2).

Here's how I do that. FWIW I don't temper with the configuration file, 
just using the advanced configuration options.

1. The personas are stored as subdirs within the user's profile, 
Gallery/Persona directory.

Say I add a "MyPersona" subdir there.
In this subdir, I add the persona graphic file (for instance, a .png). 
Say its name is MyHeader.png.

2. In LibO, Tools > Options, LibreOffice, Advanced, Open expert 
configuration.

3. I enter "persona" (without quotes) in the search bar.

LibO finds the org.openoffice.Office.Common > Misc branch, with two 
keys: Persona and PersonaSettings

4. Set Persona to "own" (without quotes)

5. Set PersonaSettings to follow the sequence mask:

<header file name>;<footer file name>;<front color>;<special color>

Where

<header file name>: the path to your header file within the personas 
profile subdir.
Using the example above would give
MyPersona/MyHeader.png

<footer file name>: same as for header file name.
You may repeat using the header file name.

<front color>: RGB in hex with a "#" prefix.
For a black front color, it gives: #000000
This color is used for menu character painting.

<special color>: same as for front color. AFAIK, unused.

6. Wrap up

The whole string in this example would give:

MyPersona/MyHeader.png;MyPersona/MyHeader.png;#000000;#F5F5F5

Once validated, the new theme is propagated to new documents (the 
current file environment is not changed yet).



To get to these grips, I read a blog article that I'm totally unable to 
find right now. Too bad I couldn't cite the author.
