Watch this:

[aaronl@endquote:~/.AbiSuite]$ rm AbiWord.Profile
[aaronl@endquote:~/.AbiSuite]$ ls
[aaronl@endquote:~/.AbiSuite]$ /usr/local/bin/abiword
# abiword comes up, I close it. it has created a prefs file for me.
[aaronl@endquote:~/.AbiSuite]$ grep AutoSpellCheck AbiWord.Profile
                AutoSpellCheck="1"
# So far nothing's wrong. This is the default.
# Now I edit the file, changing that "1" to a "0"...
[aaronl@endquote:~/.AbiSuite]$ /usr/local/bin/abiword
[aaronl@endquote:~/.AbiSuite]$ grep AutoSpellCheck AbiWord.Profile
                AutoSpellCheck="1"
# what the hell? Abiword seems to love setting my preferences to
# defaults every time it runs. this happens even if i set a preference
# in the dialog box and press OK, then restart abiword. I have
# verified this using both libxml2 and expat.

# Any ideas?
