Well, well -- on further testing I find it's actually a very different
problem.  The files I am working with are on an AFS volume.  Those
toolbars are disappearing because OOo believes the files are read-only.
If I copy them to a local filesystem, the problem disappears.  The
files, of course, are not read-only -- AFS tickets are in order and I
have rlidwka access to their directory.

So the problem is actually that OOo is preventing me from editing files
on AFS because it incorrectly believes I do not have write access.

Should you close this and I refile a new, corrected bug?
