In any case, this is a given. LO is not a standlone thing but uses interprocess communication and "services" heavily. And this means if there's a soffice.bin, LO will try to connect to that. This is a conceptual thing, not a bug. Actually, IMHO it's a bug that you have a second X instance in the same system... Wanted to refer you to a upstream bug/maling list post where this recently came up again, too, but I don't find it anymore, will give you later if I find it..
