Noticed this at the console:
(soffice:15996): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to parse /home/joey/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini: Permission denied
So the error dialog doesn't show the right filename.
joey@darkstar:~>ls -ld .config .config/gtk-3.0 .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
lrwxrwxrwx 1 joey joey 12 Dec 19 10:48 .config -> .etc/.config/
drwx------ 2 joey joey 4096 Dec 1 2016 .config/gtk-3.0/
-rw-r--r-- 1 joey joey 47 Dec 1 2016 .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
joey@darkstar:~>cat .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=0
Strace is puzzling:
15996 access("/home/joey/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini", F_OK) = 0
...
15996 open("/home/joey/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
Full strace attached.
joey@darkstar:~>rm .config # symlink
joey@darkstar:~>mv .etc/.config .
joey@darkstar:~>libreoffice
# starts ok
