    I'm guessing that abiword is trying anbd failing to use your old
    Abiword.Profile (configuration files. Educated guess based on the error
    messages).

    Try (re)moving it. I would expect to find it at
    ~/.AbiSuite/Abiword.Profile

    If that doesn't help ask again and I'll try to suggest something else.
    I prefer to risk being wrong and give a prompt reply, hope that helps.

    sincerely
