  ;; FIXME: soffice doesn't work when there's another running
  ;; LibreOffice instance, in which case it returns success without
  ;; actually doing anything.  See LibreOffice bug
  ;; https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37531.  A workaround
  ;; is to start soffice with a separate UserInstallation directory.
