To clarify this:
If you want to install plugins, apt-get install abiword-plugins
The Install Plugins button in AbiWord is only for running plugins that are
not in the expected locations (that is, if there were third party plugins,
development stuff, etc) and does NOT need to be used by the
installing the plugin package is all you need to do...

I can confirm this on Edgy.
I'd even say there should be some kind of a browser for detected plugins

plugins to choose from?)
There's also another related problem - AbiWord doesn't remember which plugins
were loaded
