Very nice to hear. AbiWord looks great!

For object embedding, it's important to allow multiple "views" on a
document. To embed AbiWord documents in other Gnome applications, that
will be important. This is the main thing I was referring to when I said
the Gnome port could be easy or hard, depending on whether you guys
already support this.

To embed objects in AbiWord, you just need to be able to flow text around
the object, it isn't hugely more complicated than embedding an image it
doesn't look like.
