Public bug reported:

On one of my desktops I get LibreOffice from
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

The recent upgrade to 4.4.0.0.beta 1 breaks desktop integration.  The entries in Xubuntu's whisker menu do not have an icon, and returns an error message saying:
       Failed to execute command "libreofficedev4.4 --writer %U".
       Failed to execute child process "libreofficedev4.4" (No such file or directory)

When I try to start an ODT document from Dolphin (Kubuntu), the error message reads:
      KDEInit could not launch 'libreofficedev4.4':
      Could not find 'libreofficedev4.4' executable.

Workaround:
* start a terminal
* start LibreOffice with the command `libreoffice &`
* use LibreOffice's own File dialog to open the document

Other than that, I am quite happy with the new version.  A few changes I
have to get used to, but that's normal with any progress.
