First, my apologies for the wrong subject line in my last message. I normally remember to change the subject when I reply to the digest but this time I either forgot or GMail outwitted me. (My money's on the latter)
Thank you all for the suggestions. The problem definitely seems to be in the libreoffice-kde package. Rather than install the -gtk3 package as many suggested, I instead removed the -kde package. Now things seem to be work normally. As an added bonus, I'm getting some added nostalgia with the Win 9x-era rendering of the icons and menus!
