Assuming XFCE and Gnome classic to work the same here, this works as
expected on Ubuntu 13.10/XFCE. Thus closing as fixed released as it is
fixed in the latest Ubuntu release. This might be included in an update
for Ubuntu 12.04 (or another series), if you desire so, please target
the bug appropriately. Note though, this alone does not appear to
justify to roll our a LTS update of LibreOffice, so it would need to
wait until there is a serious issue that it can piggyback upon.

patch attached to copy the .desktop file, rather than create a symlink as
seen with other distributions.
