The message I get when launching Write or Calc is
LibreOffice 3.5 - Fatal error
<The application cannot be started.
[context="shared"] caught unexpected exception!
I tried redoing the du this evening but no success. The problem still exists when I go back to previous kernels.
Should I just wait or ....?

It is not a general problem:
root@tosh205:/# uname -r
3.8-4.towo-siduction-686
root@tosh205:/# apt-cache policy libreoffice
libreoffice:
Installed: 1:3.5.4+dfsg2-1
Candidate: 1:3.5.4+dfsg2-1
Version table:

Also LO 4 from experimental is running fine on kernel 3.8.4 on my other machine. I don't think your problem is the kernel. You might try purging and reinstalling LO and look for errors or dependency problems.

Thanks for the suggestion Dibl.
I tried purging and then reinstalling all LibreOffice packages. There were no dependency problems noted.

Thanks for the suggestion Devil.
I discovered that this is a common but sporadic problem when Libreoffice is installed (and updated?).
I aslo found this simple solution, which is:
remove the "lbreoffice" folder from the " .config" folder in the $home directory.
Libreoffice works just fine after that.
