Fair enough.  Are you using the newly-released abiword-2.0.3 version?
The release notes specifically mention building with gtk-2.3.x there,
and replacing some deprecated gtk functions.

Of course, if you do that, upgrading to libwpd 0.7.0 would also be
nice, with additional support for WordPerfect(tm) 4.2 and 5.x documents,
since 2.0.3 supports libwpd 0.7.0

While we're mentioning abiword and gnumeric together, it would be
nice to update gnumeric from 1.2.1 to 1.2.5 or thereabouts.  Especially
since those releases fix some xls and Oo import and export bugs.
