I am having the same problem here on both 64 bit and 32 bit Ubuntu 11.04
Natty Narwhal across 3 different machines with different specs. This is
limiting my deployment of 11.04 because people obviously need an office
suite!

Running libreoffice as root works fine.
Running libreoffice as a normal user (accounts are coming from Likewise Open in 
this case) results in the following on the console:

[Java framework] Error in function createSettingsDocument (elements.cxx).
javaldx failed!

I also got a pk-gtk-module error, but that must not be related as
turning the module off in Gconf made that error line go away but the
main problem persisted.

The problems have occurred for brand-new user accounts with nothing in
their home directories.

I have tried:
- removing and reinstalling libreoffice (no change)
- switching JVMs back and forth from Sun Java 6 and OpenJDK
- creating a .libreoffice directory manually and chmodding it 777
- creating a local group named the same as my username (one does not exist 
normally due to the accounts coming from Likewise), adding my username to it, 
and changing the group on that .libreoffice directory to the new group
- setting HOME to a new directory (chmodded 777) called /tmp/libreoffice-test 
and trying the previous two steps in it

Nothing
