Thanks again, very much. The results of the commands are below.
$ libreoffice --version
LibreOffice 3.6
$mate-about --version
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
MATE Desktop Environment 1.6.1
It's pretty obvious that you're missing the RANDR extension in your X
system. Lots of things will break if that's missing. You should check
your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see what the problem is. I don't have an
ATI graphics card (three nVidias and an Intel here), but you should see
a line sort of like:
[ 127.252] Initializing built-in extension RANDR
in that log file (the number in the square brackets will be different...
it's a timestamp). If you don't see it, get that sorted out first.
$ lspci -nnv | grep VGA -A10
