Christopher, this bug affects Libreoffice 3.5.1 and Libreoffice 3.4.4.

When I try to reproduce this bug with Libreoffice 3.4.4 after install LO3.5.1, remove LO3.5.1, reinstall LO3.4.4,
I found LO3.4.4 exit silently after displaying the splash, should it be a separate bug?

This issue prevent me to reproduce the bug on LO3.4.4, in fact I found on LO3.5.1 the bug appear on gnome classic without effects as well, so I'm doubting my previous reported result.

Hello, after strace on Libreoffice, I've found the problem in #6 and solved the issue by clean remove my previous installed Libreoffice beta packages.

After that I find the original bug can reproduce on gnome classic without effects as well. I'm not sure whether my previous description in #0 regarding "LO3.4.4 on gnome classic without effects" is reliable now...
