This is nothing short of appalling:
- Issue still present in LibreOffice on Precise (LTS)
- It's been 7 (seven) years
- Currently, the workaround is to edit a file that gets overwritten with every update: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1645957&p=11891452#post11891452

The attached patch yields control over these essential flags back to /etc/libreoffice/soffice.sh , which is part of libreoffice-common but is ignored by /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice (in the same package). It would be trivial for the package maintainer to apply this fix, with no loss of functionality whatsoever. People who are on NSFv3 simply would have to edit a flag in /etc/libreoffice/soffice.sh one time; since it's in /etc , later updates should leave it alone. Nothing changes for anyone else.
