Well try the example code. All you need to do create a gtk-container and
do a gtk_container_add and the abiword widget will get embedded in your
app.

The example code shows how to connect to a reasonable fraction of
abiword's features.

Look at abi/src/wp/ap/unix/abiwidget.cpp for a list of all the properties
the widget supports.

Unfortunately the embeddable bonobo component will only work on unix (as
will the gtk build) so you'll lose all the benefits of wxwindows
cross-platformness.

Actually abiword already runs very well on all the platfroms supported by
wxwidgets anyway.
