Thanks for that. Tried that, and a new .config/libreoffice folder was created when I start libreoffice, but again, when I try to configure the default language I get this error message:
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkOptionMenu::indicator-size' of type `GtkRequisition' from rc file value "0" of type `glong' Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkOptionMenu::indicator-spacing' of type `GtkBorder' from rc file value "0" of type `glong'
No errors, at all, $ libreoffice --version LibreOffice 3.6
$ mate-about --version MATE Desktop Environment 1.6.1
You can try to create a new user for testing purposes, and see if it'd turn up errors. Besides which video module is in the question? $ lspci -nnv | grep VGA -A10

Thanks again, very much. The results of the commands are below.
$ libreoffice --version LibreOffice 3.6
$mate-about --version Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". MATE Desktop Environment 1.6.1
It's pretty obvious that you're missing the RANDR extension in your X system. Lots of things will break if that's missing. You should check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see what the problem is. I don't have an ATI graphics card (three nVidias and an Intel here), but you should see a line sort of like:
[ 127.252] Initializing built-in extension RANDR
in that log file (the number in the square brackets will be different... it's a timestamp). If you don't see it, get that sorted out first.
