Apps on Kubuntu keep crashing

[Brian Cluff]

Check to see if you have the libreoffice-kde package installed and if so 
purge it from the system.  All it does is make libreoffice look like a 
KDE app, but it's based on core that is old and unmaintained and makes 
libreoffice crashy.

The good news is that apparently someone has recently picked up the 
project again so we might be able to have a nicely themed libreoffice 
again in the near future.
