From downstream bug lp#1300283:
It seems that the latest RC of LO is completely broken on KDE 4.
Launching the LO center causes nothing to come up ( I can see a window title, but nothing inside the window itself ), launching writer causes a window to come up, which immediately hangs.
Multiple users have brought this up on the Kubuntu Devel mailing list too.

This comment https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ libreoffice/ +bug/1300283/ comments/ 10 reports that copying the KDE plugin from 4.2.1 in solves this.
There are commits in vcl/unx/kde4 about fdo#73115, fdo#45935 and fdo#74416 -- one of them is likely causing this regression.
