caolanm->dtardon: is this possible with the early liblibreofficekitgtk.so bundled with 5.0.X or is too early a version for gnome-document integration to work in practice ?

I will have to dig through the Git logs and bug reports to answer that, but probably not. I recall that it needed some small fixes here and there to get everything working smoothly. Indeed, dtardon or pranavk (from the upstream LibreOffice community) would be in a better position to answer that. gnome-documents-3.20 was the first version to start using LOKDocView, ie. Fedora 24. So that's definitely a safe baseline. I will have to check if we added any new requirements to gnome-documents-3.22, which is the version that RHEL 7.4 will be having.

It is actually too early a version for this work to work with 5.0.X. There were plenty of fixes that are only in 5.1 but not in 5.0.X. We also don't install any g-i files in 5.0.X (added in 8f2aace9 in upstream LO). gnome-documents starting from 3.20 won't open ODF/OOXML files if it doesn't find this g-i file. Should be possible to cherry-pick stuff to 5.0.X though.
I've backported the majority of libreofficekit/lokdocview/tiled rendering from 5.1.6. The only problem I can see is that spreadsheets are not opened correctly: after a spreadsheet is opened, opening subsequent files shows the first file again.
