What he said, +2.  The last time I loaded something into abiword, I 
rebooted the machine fast so it never got a chance to write what I saw 
on-screen. The first thing I did after the reboot was purge that puppy. 
That was the last time I installed it. That was around 4 years ago. And 
if Ralf says its worse...  Obviously from the KDE school of ignoring bug 
reports.  But for that, there is TDE. ;-)
