Will a fix be forthcoming? I hope so.
I did upgrading the OS and Abiword works quite well. The first time I installed the Abiword I installed also Minimo. After Minimo was installed the Abiword started. Then I uninstalled Minimo because I did not want to use it because it was crashing all the time. Still Abiword worked well.

I did this new install this way: installed Minimo and THEN the Abiword. Again I uninstalled Minino and in xterm started Abiword. Starts slowly but eventually works, like it did before this new upgrade. I don't know if you already have done that but if not, then you should try it. I'm still interest in Minimo, hope that it will became more stable.

Thank you Aleksandyr for porting the Abiword!
