I've done more testing, and am preparing a report on my observations.
I'll be gone this afternoon and this evening, so the earliest I will
issue it will be tomorrow afternoon.

Except for the crashes which I've already reported, many (but not all)
of my observations relate to behavior with respect to styles. It may
make sense to release 0.9.3 without dealing with those, and ask some
people specifically to review the style observations. (There are some
real issues I think, and other things that are preference type items.)
I'm not pushing for the release of 9.3, but neither am I asking that it
be held up for these style issues. (And maybe you want to decide after
you see my list.)

There is one point I'll bring up here. I couldn't initially get
AutoSave to work. Eventually I guessed that it was because a custom
scheme was installed and activated on my system (in AbiWord.Profile).
AFAIK, I did nothing to create that custom profile. If that was the
reason I could not enable AutoSave, and if that custom profile was
"shipped" with the AbiWord installation package (which I assume it was),
should that be changed?

In the time I have before I have to leave, I'll review my list and try
to identify any bigger issues and post them to the list.
