The "GailWindow" message is from opening in a Terminal, the "General error" 
message is from opening from either the Splash Screen or from double clicking 
an .odt file. If I start Writer directly, then pick a file off Recent 
Documents, I get the "general error" message; click on this and the file opens 
correctly.

BTW, I am running on Xubuntu 64 bit 16.04.03 (fully updated)
