After many attempts including waiting for the next release (5.2) it still has the same issue. I don't use Gnome and gnome useflag is not enabled for this package but it doesn't seem to be required as GTK support should work fine even without the Gnome. Unfortunately I couldn't install it with gnome useflag to check as it requires too many rebuilds (changing eudev to udev and systemd) and new Gnome packages which will break everything.
A precise description of the bug is necessary, we can not provide support via bug tracker. I suggest to collect more details with the help of the gentoo support channels [1] first. Please provide the emerge --info, log files and a screenshot. [1] https://www.gentoo.org/support/
Created attachment 455512 [details] emerge --info Sorry for the delay, compiling libreoffice takes a lot of time, and here's some info after I checked source-based version. I'm not sure what log files I can provide in such case because libreoffice doesn't provide it. 1. emerge --info: see attachement. Almost stable system, Xfce with GTK2/GTK3 (enabled in make.conf), no systemd, d-bus, eudev, polkit, consolekit and all the stuff (typical home desktop system similar to Xubuntu 14.04). 2a. app-office/libreoffice-bin: current version from portage (5.2.x, the same problem was with 5.1.x and I can't remember if it was the case with 4.x and 5.0.x -- I think that there wasn't any problems with these versions). Screenshot [1]. Enabled USE-flags for this pacakge: java 2b. app-office/libreoffice: also current version from portage (I never had previous versions installed). No problems here, GTK2/3-styles are in use, see screenshot [2]. Enabled USE-flags for that package: bluetooth branding cups dbus gtk gtk3 java 3. What I tried to solve thit issue: almost everything I found on Internet relevant to my problem, arch wiki has those advices collected in one place [3]. A little bit outdated, but the same info (environment variables especiallly) was everywhere. I had libreoffice-bin with ugly look without GTK-style applied and even after update to 5.2.x the problem was still there, so I compiled libreoffice. The only additional dependencies was: ucpp and Archive-Zip and that version looked as expected with GTK-applied applied. I tried two packages on the same system with the same libraries (GTK and co.) and one package doesn't have problems (libreoffice) and another (libreoffice-bin) has it.

Well, the reason for this is that people were complaining about the "superfluous" gtk dependency... (I'll probably revert that sometime though.)

Recent libreoffice-bin ebuilds all have gtk+:2 hard-dep.
