Sorry that I am so incredibly late with this, but I sent this message
to abiword-dev a few weeks ago and never got any response. I just
remembered this bug and was wondering if it was a show-stopper. Even
if it isn't, this message will probably get peoples' attention so I
can get positive or negative confirmation :).
If I can get some confirmation that this is a bug and not a local
configuration issue, I will enter it into bugzilla. However, I'm
hoping someone will commit a fix before I get a chance.

Subject: AbiWord refuses to honor preferences!!
User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i
Watch this:
[aaronl@endquote:~/.AbiSuite]$ rm AbiWord.Profile
[aaronl@endquote:~/.AbiSuite]$ ls
[aaronl@endquote:~/.AbiSuite]$ /usr/local/bin/abiword
# abiword comes up, I close it. it has created a prefs file for me.
[aaronl@endquote:~/.AbiSuite]$ grep AutoSpellCheck AbiWord.Profile
AutoSpellCheck="1"
# So far nothing's wrong. This is the default.
# Now I edit the file, changing that "1" to a "0"...
[aaronl@endquote:~/.AbiSuite]$ /usr/local/bin/abiword
[aaronl@endquote:~/.AbiSuite]$ grep AutoSpellCheck AbiWord.Profile
AutoSpellCheck="1"
# what the hell? Abiword seems to love setting my preferences to
# defaults every time it runs. this happens even if i set a preference
# in the dialog box and press OK, then restart abiword. I have
# verified this using both libxml2 and expat.
# Any ideas?
