to replicate 1) Open Writer or Calc using gnome menu 2) call this command: libreoffice3.4 --convert-to pdf myfile.doc 3) nothing will happen, as if having the GUI open interrupted the execution of the command.
any updates?

I'm seeing the same issue. When a GUI instance of LO is running, the convert-to CLI command fails to execute - and usually spawns another GUI window. This occurs with other CLI commands as well, such as --print-to-file. (Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64)
