    I can't confirm this, but I don't use AbiWord extensively so maybe it just
    hasn't happened *yet*

    If ~/.AbiSuite/AbiWord.Profile is missing then AbiWord generates it.
    I can turn off the font warning and the splash screen here successfully.

    likely to work better there. For best results, compiling AbiWord yourself
    is recommended...
