I stand corrected:  on that machine I get LibreOffice from
ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-prereleases

It just updated to 4.4.0.0.beta2 and the problem described is still
present.

I had switched that machine July 16, 2014 to the prereleases PPA because I needed to connect Base to a MySQL database and back then
*  v4.2.4.2 in the default Ubuntu repository did not do it
*  v4.2.5~rc2, standard PPA, did not do it
*  v4.3.0~rc2 in the pre-release PPA worked read-only which was good enough for my needs, at least temporarily.

Title:
  [PPA] LibreOfficeDev upgrade breaks desktop integration

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
