strace of Tools->Options working properly

Hi Julien,

> That sounds like some environment variable like SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN was explicitly pointing to kde4.

Yes, apparently, LXQt sets it on startup, but I can set it to anything I want
without affecting LXQt. https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/1673

I tested on plain Plasma instead of LXQt, the problem remained.

> could you check you don't have libkf5kdelibs4support-data package?

I do have kdelibs4support, and I can't uninstall it because critical components
of Plasma depend on it. Specifically, I have calligra, knetattach, kolourpaint,
plasma-workspace, qtcurve-kde installed. Of these, knetattach and
plasma-workspace cannot be removed without removing all of KDE5/Plama.


> Can you try what happens if you kill any GPG-related process or temporarily rename  your ~/.gpg directory (don't delete it, it may contain private keys,...)?

I don't have a ~/.gpg directory. I have a ~/.gnupg, which I temporarily
renamed. I also stopped gpg-agent and tried again after ensuring gpg-agent was
not running.

Apparently, this solves it! I renamed the backup.gnupg to .gnupg (as it was,
originally), enabled the auto-start of gpg-agent and tried again on a fresh
login.

This time around, opening Tools->Options works fine!

It looks like LO was hanging because of some conflict within ~/.gnupg. After I
removed that conflict and allowed LO to initialize itself properly, LO started
behaving normal. There are still plenty of "Bad file descriptor" messages in
the logs, but at least Tools->Options opens properly.

I have attached the latest strace where Tools->Options opens properly.

Thank you for your help in resolving this!
