I do not quite understand what is happening here. Am I to believe that no-one
using Abiword can load pictures, or is it just Bernard Lambey and me? If the
latter, how does a bug affect just the two of us? It would seem that the libpng
problem is not the source of this trouble. So what is?
John
PS It seems the spellcheck problem is a bug and we will just have to wait for
it to be fixed. I can accept that
