After reading through everything, sounds like there are more folks that want these icons back than not. And I completely see the use case of having these icons so I've added this fix:

Currently, LibreOffice takes up a whole row on my computer (6 icons) which seems excessive with GNOME Shell's current design. I suggest that we do like Fedora and hide the LibreOffice Start Center and LibreOffice Math. Instead of opening a Start Center, it makes more sense for a user to just open the app they want directly. I don't think users want to create a mathematical formula just to create one, but to insert into a document so it makes more sense to start Math from within the other app. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1696250/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
