I save all my hidden "dot" folders, like .libreoffice and .mozilla,
every month or so, and before I update LibreOffice to the next one.
This is for Ubuntu, but can be done with Windows versions of these
folders as well.
Actually you should do this for your Mozilla [Firefox and Thunderbird]
user info folders so you can save all you browser
setting/site-password/bookmarks/etc and your email account info, address
book, and non-deleted emails. This will/could save you a lot of trouble
down the line.
Any time you do some "fixing" for LO or OOo, you need to save the
current user info/account/etc. folders BEFORE you do the work. This way
if things go very wrong, you can go back to the original user info to
try again. Actually I find removing the .libreoffice for Ubuntu [by
renaming] or equivalent in other OSs, and then opening LO, it views it
as a first time use after a clean install. This does "fix" a lot of
pesky things that creep up from time to time, like printer issues.

Brilliant suggestion, Tom. Many thanks for this advice. I will do this on
all 3 of my machines, all running different OS - XP-Home, Vista 64, Vista
32 Business.
I'm sure to report back once I have done this and tested the result.

Just copy&paste or rename the OOo UserProfile from
... openoffice.org/ ...
to
... libreoffice/ ...
You can even copy the user profile to different machines running different
operating systems.
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfiles
All your settings and Extensions and galleries and stuff is stored inside
your user-profile. Note that if you have other OpenSOurce programs then
their settings are stored in the same folder so you will see things like
... firefox/ ...
... libreoffice/ ...
... thunderbird/ ...
Well, after switching your file-browser to show hidden files&folders you
will see them.

That would be nice. I wonder if there's a settings file hidden somewhere in
OO that we could simply locate and copy across to LO (appropriate folder)
and voila, it's done! Of course, BEFORE one uninstalls OpenOffice.

The first time you install LibreOffice with an OOo user profile, that
will be (mostly) imported.
Yesterday, I installed LO 3.4.5 on another PC here (to replace Open
Office).
What option in the install mechanism would have caused it to have
been installed "with an OOo user profile", Cor?
It certainly didn't pick up the user's OO templates.
