This is not intentional, I should have been warned if there's any
problem.
[rms@roque rms]$ rpm -ql abiword-plugins-impexp | grep -i gdkp
/usr/lib/AbiWord-2.0/plugins/libAbiGdkPixbuf.so
There were different matters with abiword 1.0.x on this issue, that may
not apply on 2.0.x
Previously, if you didn't have gnome you'd likely not have gdkpixbuf.
As it stands can no longer be true, though.

ps: so far I'm keeping Fedora Core at home, but it is being constantly
updated, and RH9 won't be supported anymore by RedHat after the end of
this year anyway...
