Commit (PLUGINS): Improve/Fix scrolling, resizing, editing in the abiwidget

It behaves somewhat like abiword now (editing works after the window
has been resized once).
This [1] patch against the main codebase is required to build the plugin.
I love it when a plan comes together.

available due to polite popular request)

Now i need a testbed ...
Time to introduce ANTIWORD
What is this? AntiWord is AbiWord's evil twin brother.

Check this out:

AbiWord AntiWord
----------------------------------------
portable not portable
c++, good c, oldscool
works doesn't even exist
community wannabe
smart solutions blatant code reuse
ML, irc, website nothing

you get it ...

Cheers,
