Not much.  There is bug#512777 for the Abiword issue, but without much 
detail.  I'll post my info on that after this email.

Please do update the Debian and Sugarlabs wiki pages to refer to that 
bugreport - similar to the now solved metacity issue that I noticed you 
cleaned up today, thanks!

I can't seem to find any info on the Read showstopper.  Perhaps it has 
been solved by now, and someone (me :-( ) just needs to revisit the Read 
packaging.

Thanks for raising awareness of these important showstoppers.
