I use Ubuntu rather than Fedora but your problem sounds to me like an issue
with permissions to access some file since things work with sudo and not
without sudo. I would search the computer for "RANDR" for starters. I don't
know where to look for installed extensions used by LO. Maybe someone else can
chime in with a useful remark or two.

Hi, I've had problems with Libreoffice on 3 separate computers running Fedora
13, 15, and 16. When I'd bring up Libreoffice, I would get a "central
configuration" error. Google tells me this occurs when separate libreoffice
installations exist. This was not the case as far as I can tell, but all 3
computers have upgraded from past distributions in which open office was
running. Removing libreoffice via yum, or deleting the ~/.libreoffice
directory didn't help, but I could run it from the command line via**sudo
libreoffice.
So, I've downloaded the 3.5 versions directly from Libreoffice, and tried to
install them on my Fedora 16 computer, after removing version 3.4.
Installation seemed successful, but I get this problem:
$ libreoffice3.5
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0".
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'
If I run it under 'sudo', it works fine. Can anyone help me to get this
running under normal user mode? Presumably I need to set some permissions
somewhere, but I'm not sure where.
Thanks!
