Perhaps is this the problem ? At a guess, the DEB package that points to /usr/bin/libreOffice5.2 is hashed for installation security reasons (part of the signing of the packages) and this hash is verified when a user attempts to execute a program from that link. In the non-functional user accounts, the hash isn't verified, so the application isn't executed (I'm just speculating here, don't take my word as gospel). This kind of rings a bell as a Ubuntu bug I read about a while ago where some user accounts when created did not have an appropiate set up of executable links to libreoffice - some kind of problem with /etc/skel not copying everything or setting correct permissions for the newly created user. Perhaps you might find something by searching in the Ubuntu launchpad bug database ?

On the non-working users what happens if you run /usr/bin/libreoffice5.2 I does not start. you might also want to try running it with strace strace /usr/bin/libreoffice5.2 It might show some info. Might need to install strace. Ok, I'll do it as soon as possible. Now I don't have the PC where I have the problem with me. I'll give you a reply soon.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Libreoffice 5.2 not starting
For a user that it works, open a terminal and type which libreoffice and see where it finds the program. On an older ubuntu machine it found /usr/bin/libreoffice for my home machine it is /usr/bin/libreoffice5.3 on my machine. There might also be a symbolic link to it. Mine had an older link with libreoffice pointing to the old 5.2, which I recently removed after installing 5.3, so I removed and recreated link. Is there a difference in paths between users?
