The solution is simple, of course. If you just resize the dialogue
window slightly (in either direction), the panels should resize (in
your case, shrink) to enable you to see everything. And if you
enlarge the dialogue window sufficiently that the default panel
size can (just?) be accommodated, you should find that the problem
goes away permanently. To do this, drag the dialogue window size
to be quite a bit larger, close it and reopen it, and then careful
resize it so as just to accommodate the default panels you will then see.

I also use 2.3.1 with WindowsXP. Yes, if I make the dialog box just
a bit larger (wider either to the left or to the right, higher, or
longer) the buttons appear.
If I close the dialog box (with the X in the upper right corner of
the dialog box) and reopen the dialog box, then the buttons do not
appear and I have to again make the dialog box just a bit bigger in
any direction to see buttons. That is something I can do now that
I know what is going on.
I think the need to enlarge the dialog box should be removed from
OpenOffice. I do not know how to enter an issue (I think that is
what it is called) on the OpenOffice website. Is there someone who
will enter the dialog box issue?

There isn't a need to enlarge the dialogue box. At least, there
shouldn't be: once you have it the right size, this should stick and
everything should work properly. Your problem is now a different
one: that the chosen window size doesn't stick. And that's not an
issue as such, since it doesn't happen always - not for me, for example.
There are two sorts of solution I can suggest. The first is
(temporarily) to turn off the Quickstarter if you have that running
(right-click the icon in the system tray and choose Exit
Quickstarter) and then try again. If this now works, set an
appropriate dialogue window size and close OpenOffice: all should now
be OK - even when the Quickstarter restarts.
The other approach consists of tinkering with the configuration file
where I believe relevant information is stored. It may be that the
relevant file has become corrupt. I'm guessing here, so do this at
your own risk, but I think it may work. If it does, it would
probably be the only solution: even reinstalling OpenOffice would not
help. Try this:
o Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter.
o Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office, where
<username> is your user name.
o Rename Views.xcu (e.g. to Views.xcu.was) to disable it. (It is
better to rename it rather than to delete it, so that you can
resurrect it by renaming it back if necessary.)
o Start OpenOffice again and test.
OpenOffice should create a new, clean copy of Views.xcu for you. You
will lose all the settings that it contained, of course, though that
may already have happened anyway if the file is indeed corrupt.
I trust this helps.
