            Bug ID: 114507
           Summary: LibreOffice_5.4.3.2 only starts as root
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Base
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: manuel.gwolff at gmail.com

Description:
I downloaded LibreOffice_5.4.3_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz and tried to run
LibreOffice. However, it only start as root. When starting those applications
as a user, libreoffice hangs after the splash screen, before any window opens.
No messages are displayed in the console. 

I tried removing ~/.config/libreoffice and I also tried "chmod -R 777
~/.config/libreoffice", but it did not help.

The only valid work around I found was copying the /root/.config/libreoffice
folder to my user's home and making the user the owner of that folder.
Afterwards, libreoffice started successfully.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to start LibreOffice:
$ /opt/libreoffice5.4/program/soffice


Actual Results:  
LibreOffice never starts.

Expected Results:
LibreOffice should start.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
LibreOffice starts fine as root.
