I have dropped the Appimage again - it showed the same menubar-gets-lost-in-nirvana as the devuan version. So I'm back to libreoffice from devuan repos, which works quite nice - when the menubar is present, that is. > What's more, in the whole package there is no LO-gtk3 or LO-qt5 > subpackage mentioned separately.

Then you have the X11 fallback, which always works, but is a PITA on 160dpi an above. > I wonder, what a VLCPLUGIN has to do with LO? SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN .. I was told it stands for "video core library". Sometimes LO detects the correct library to use, sometimes not. It's totally undocumented what it looks for when choosing the "right" one. Bit it's possible to make it prefer one gui toolkit over an other. That works, but as I wrote, there is no dependency on dbus-x11 which is needed for the menubar (god knows why).
