When I wrote Write, I never really had documentation myself. I always
just looked at the canvas widget header file, which usually was "good
enough":

  http://svn.abisource.com/abiword/trunk/src/wp/ap/gtk/abiwidget.h

You won't be able to solve that problem without extending the widget
API. They way I solved this when the first XO's shipped, was by
distributing some patches in the RPM that simply disabled the HTML
exporter dialog altogether :P

I think I also added those patches to the official Fedora abiword
package, which at the time contained a flag to do a "suger build".
Someone ripped that out a while ago, without ever really solving the
original issue you are now running into as well :'(
