[bostjanv <792947@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I am encountering this same problem on Ubuntu 11.04. The history of the problem in my case is as follows: on initial install of Ubuntu 11.04 libreoffice worked OK (an ordinary user could call the program); however, after a while I began getting the "The application cannot be started. A general error occurred while accessing your central configuration. "  I was not able to determine what caused the bug; it may have been after I installed emacs, though I am not sure.
Regards,
bostjanv

Title:
  The application cannot be started.  A general error occurred while
  accessing your central configuration.

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libreoffice

  localc
  OR 
  lodraw
  OR
  libreoffice
  ETC.

  You get the following popup:
  "The application cannot be started. 
  A general error occurred while accessing your central configuration. "
  Afterwards, you get the following on the tty:
  [Java framework] Error in function createSettingsDocument (elements.cxx).
  javaldx failed! 

  Running as root this doesn't happen.

  Upgrading to the latest did not help.

  This same message seems to be plauging people with various different
  causes.

  Stupid message.   Which central configuration are you trying to access
  and how.

  I have no ~/.config/.libreoffice-whatever
  I do have a ~/.openoffice.org and ~/.openoffice.org2 directories, with correct ownership.
  dbus is running, though it had problems earlier (but if it wasn't running ubuntu-bug would have died).
  gnome-settings-daemon has been restarted.
  I have not intentionally installed any "extensions".

  Workaround: sudo chown -R whitis.whitis /home/whitis/.libreoffice
