--- Comment #11 from Stephan Bergmann <sbergman at redhat.com> ---
FYI, at least current master towards LO 4.2 on Linux:

* If there is no ~/.config, LO silently creates ~/libreoffice/4 instead of
~/.config/libreoffice/4 and uses that.  This is probably a bug.

* If ~/.config is a directory that is not accessible (no rwx flags) LO refuses
to start with a "The application cannot be started. An internal error
occurred." error box and does not create anything.

* If ~/.config is a directory that is not writeable (just r-x flags) LO refuses
to start with a "The application cannot be started. User installation could not
be completed." error box and does not create anything.

* If ~/.config is a file instead of a directory LO refuses to start with a "The
application cannot be started. The configuration file
'/.../program/bootstraprc' is corrupt." error box (whose wording does make
sense, given that bootstraprc's UserIntsallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/libreoffice/4
points at a "broken" path) and does not create anything.
