Bug Description
On one of my desktops I get LibreOffice from https:/
The recent upgrade to 4.4.0.0.beta 1 breaks desktop integration. The entries in Xubuntu's whisker menu do not have an icon, and returns an error message saying:
Failed to execute command "libreofficedev4.4 --writer %U".
Failed to execute child process "libreofficedev4.4" (No such file or directory)
When I try to start an ODT document from Dolphin (Kubuntu), the error message reads:
KDEInit could not launch 'libreofficedev
Could not find 'libreofficedev4.4' executable.
Workaround:
* start a terminal
* start LibreOffice with the command `libreoffice &`
* use LibreOffice's own File dialog to open the document
Other than that, I am quite happy with the new version. A few changes I have to get used to, but that's normal with any progress.

I stand corrected: on that machine I get LibreOffice from ppa:libreoffice
It just updated to 4.4.0.0.beta2 and the problem described is still present.
I had switched that machine July 16, 2014 to the prereleases PPA because I needed to connect Base to a MySQL database and back then
* v4.2.4.2 in the default Ubuntu repository did not do it
* v4.2.5~rc2, standard PPA, did not do it
* v4.3.0~rc2 in the pre-release PPA worked read-only which was good enough for my needs, at least temporarily.
