A "real" crash?

gnome-documents is supposed to work also when there's no LO:

try {
    const LOKDocView = imports.gi.LOKDocView;
} catch(e) {
    // LOKDocView will be undefined, and we'll
    // use this to warn when LO files can't be opened
}

so I'd have assumed that it also works if it doesn't find libreofficekitgtk.

Ah, well.

Ugh. (If I'd do that it'd be in /usr/lib given nothing in LO is in
multiarch paths.)

Yeah, that definitely would be better.
