To be sure: does this problem still exist with the recent LibreOffice,
right?  I'm asking because the original bug report is pretty old.

If yes, still I wonder whether putting rgba: rgb is correct.  This is
the key point of the bug, I guess, but meanwhile the sub-pixel rendering
is OFF as default.  So, doesn't it break the font rendering in LO as
default?

IMHO, the right place to fix is either LO itself or gnome-settings-
daemon.  g-s-d can change Xrm on the fly.  (Currently it's changing only
some XSETTINGS_* atoms.)

Alternatively, we may write a helper program to parse fonts-cofig and
change Xrm automatically.  This can be called from xinit.

In anyway, as long as the rgba configuration can be changed later,
setting this to a static value doesn't sound like a good solution to me.
