Toolbar Icons not visible in Open Office

After I install the OpenOffice plugin on Windows XP, I have a toolbar with icons that works just as expected. However, very soon (after I've quit out of OpenOffice a couple of times, I think), the toolbar looks like this:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2243137/no-icons.JPG

That is, with text only, no icons.

Moreover, clicking on these buttons sometimes (though not always) causes OpenOffice to crash.

If I close this toolbar, I can reselect it in the View-Toolbars menu -- but it never in fact reappears as a toolbar. It is gone permanently.

If I uninstall then reinstall the plugin, then the icons come back (along with the toolbar, if I had lost it), but again only very temporarily. (Disabling and reenabling isn't enough; the extension has to be removed and reinstalled).

I have tried reinstalling the plugin from Zotero Firefox and from Standalone; that doesn't seem to make any difference.

Changing settings for toolbar view in OpenOffice makes no difference.

I am using OpenOffice 3.4.1, under Windows XP. I believe I first noticed this problem when upgrading to the Apache OpenOffice.

Another forum thread has dealt with a very similar problem (http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/21761/libreoffice-missing-toolbar-icons-but-toolbar-working/) It was suggested that there might be a problem with Addons.xcu -- but it was unclear to me how a user like myself might fix that problem.

Thank you.
