Public bug reported:

There are several problems I want to report, problems which occurred after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10. They are all related to LibreOffice and the integration of this application with the OS, esp. Unity.
(a) if I try to integrate soffice (i.e. overall screen which shows all LibreOffice components) as a button in the launcher (by dragging from list in dash), it fails to show an icon. Thus it remains a black space, which runs as a link though. Subsequently, when clicking on the black space with the rightside mouse buttonthe normal dark little window opens but does not show the name of the application, which normally is the case (e.g. LibreOffice Writer - Firefox Browser Web)
(b) when closing a document in any component of LibreOffice (writer, calc etc...) by clicking on the X at the right top corner, normally the application always turns to the soffice survey page with all components. This page now is very instable: parts of the closed page are still visible at the side and bottom of the sreen. Moreover when starting from soffice, the screen has not its normal lay-out (white rectangle on a grey-blue background). The background turns to white at both sides and at the bottom of the screen.
(c) more disturbing is that when opening a document in one of the LibreOffice components, the launcher fails to indicate that a window of the application is already active (little arrows at the side of the launcher buttons). Thus one can lose track of an opened document, which can cause problems (erroneous cancellation, doublework etc...)
(c) with maximised windows  of LibreOffice components (soffice, swriter etc...) often fails to show the three symbols to close, minimize and maximise', the only possibility to close the application is throug the menu of the application itself (File - Exit)
(d) Sometimes a document in one of the LibreOffice components is active, but if we activate the launcher by moving the mouse to the left screen side, it doesn't show the icon of the active application. It just doesn't seem to be there. If I'm not mistaken, this problem has already been reported by others as well.
