Ohh, might be related after all: Looking below
/usr/share/abiword-3.0/templates there are locale-specific normal.awt-*
files, which I guess mean that a unusual locale would cause the file
normal.awt to be used, and that that file might be rarely tested because
commonly it is shadowed by a locale-specific file.
Hope that helps.
