<pre>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.
