Yes! The problem appears to be that GtkMathView built with gcc-4.0.1 is
incompatible with AbiWord built with gcc-4.0.2. After I rebuilt
gtkmathview with gcc-4.0.2 to match my rebuilt AbiWord-2.4 (with
gcc-4.0.2) it all works again.

So, Marc, could you push a GtkMathView built with gcc-4.0.2 in FC4-Extras?

Thanks!
