I've installed openoffice suite but when I launched the openoffice writer the menu bar alongwith the buttons vanished. It appears for a sec on startup but then vanishes. Here is a screenshot.
What is causing this? I'm using vanilla KDE.

IIRC it's something related to using GTK, there' s an environment variable you can set to force ooo to use QT instead.
I recommend you try libreoffice, I have found it integrates much better with KDE

Read my conversation with myself here. I think it might provide an answer.

Tried as per this but it isn't helping. Maybe I think I should replace OOO with Libreoffice.

Are you using the Qt raster graphicssystem?
Edit: Try running "QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native soffice" and see if the problem persists.
If it does not, one solution is adding "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" to /etc/profile so it uses the gtk theme.
The other semi-permanent solution is exporting native graphicssystem for ooo. There are several ways to do this however.
Switching to LO won't do you much good either since they are practically the same with OO.O.
