Thanks Brandon.
My next question is whether there are any risks involved with using the unstable tree. Are the packages in fact unstable? Nobody seems to report any problems with the unstable tree, and the criterion for moving clamAV to the stable tree recently was the fact that a few us inquired about it.
So, is it better to use the unstable tree?
And, yes, updating (rsync) the unstable tree did reveal that the latest abiword version is 2.0.6-1. So, I guess the question is how long is "very slowly"? More than a minute?
Thank you very much.

Hello,
I'm not sure what trees you're using, but I've got stable & unstable in mine. I updated all via fink a few days ago and my version of Abiword is 2.06, NOT 2.03. It launches; slowly, very slowly, but it launches. Very slowly on a 1.25 GHz G4. Very slowly. :) After it launches, however, it seems to respond fine. I use it fairly often and don't notice it being slow after it's already been running.
I'm not sure what version is in stable currently, but you should have at least 2.06 if you just updated with unstable.
Hope that helps,
Brandon Potter
P.S.--If you don't understand stable vs unstable, see the following: http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php?phpLang=en#unstable

Everyone,
Does anyone have Abiword 2.0.3 running? I installed it from source last night, and the program never managed to launch.
Thanks.
