This is, without question, my biggest gripe with LibreOffice.  There are
regular and frequent updates (Great!), and each time I install a new version, I
have to reconfigure everything all over again (Bad!).  The reconfiguration
includes personal info (name, etc.), file locations, preferred fonts, custom
colors, etc.  I've just installed version 3.6.0 to be faced with this yet
again.

To Sasha's comment about a machine hosting different versions of LO
simultaneously, why, then, does the LO installation remove the currently
installed version (on Windows, at any rate)?  If you're going to remove the old
version, you should copy over the configuration.  Even if you're installing
another version without removing the existing one, you should still copy the
config over!  If you're worried that the user may have a corrupt or buggy
config, the installation should ask if they want to start afresh and import
none of the existing settings.

Further, once the old config has been overwritten by the new config (as happens
on my Windows 7 machine), how do I "manually copy profile when needed"?
