Ok, I'm confused. Normally, AbiWord opens as a square, showing the
toolbar(s) and the upper left-hand corner of the document. When I
started this morning, it opened only showing the toolbars, but full
width. I rebuilt it (to get the PFB printing patch installed), and
it's back to the old behavior. Perhaps this bug has already been
fixed, or something strange was going on?
