Yes.

Okay. Hopefully we can track this down so the issue can be reported upstream.

After purging openoffice.org-kde, Writer 3.2.0-10 starts fine (just looks
different). I'm using the "Plastique" style, BTW -- some previous OO.org bug
reports seemed to be dependent on style used also.
To test, I switched to the "Oxygen" theme, reinstalled openoffice.org-kde,
after which Writer runs fine. When I switch back to the "Plastique" theme,
Writer quits with an error again.

That isn't surprising, especially if you're using the Oxygen theme. ;-)
