    Now, you see, this is the kind of attitude that is
    disappointing to me, and the point of all my long letter to
    Dom and mailing list: the build is indeed a bidi build. The
    problem, this time does not "exist between keyboard and
    chair". I have written about this in a previous message, but
    you might not have read it: I just realized my system clock
    is two hours fast (!), so my messages end up in the wrong
    order in people's mailboxes. Sorry.

    Anway, back to our point: I was using
    abiword-gnome-bidi-1.0.0-1.i686.rpm, and am now using
    abiword-gnome-bidi-1.0.2-1.i686.rpm

    David solved the problem by telling me to deactivate the
    "custom toolbars" checkbox in the preferences.

    Anyhow, I am bound to add details to my previous bug report,
    so that Tomas can look into this in detail.

    BTW, Hubert and Dom, I have seen your slides about AbiWord
    1.2 and the integration with Gnome 2.0. I am impressed.
