Public bug reported:
This is a packaging quirk that I've encountered in elementaryOS, but
I've verified that it also affects the new minimal installation in
Ubuntu 18.04.
When I install LibreOffice Calc or Writer from GNOME Software, they do
not automatically install the `libreoffice-gnome` package and look
completely out of place in the surrounding GTK desktop.
There are two workarounds: I can either install the `libreoffice-gnome`
package manually, or I can install the full LibreOffice package, which
includes `libreoffice-gnome` in its Recommends. Neither of these options
is intuitive for me as a user; I only searched for "Excel" in GNOME
Software and installed Calc because it looked familiar.
Proposed fix, without knowing much about package dependencies: Can't the
individual LibreOffice apps include `libreoffice-gnome|libreoffice-kde4`
in their Recommends as well?
