OK, I didn't know that “Abgebrochen” means Segfault.  I wouldn't care
about the line open("Unbenannt1.abw.SAVED", ...) if it would do the same
on my machine, but it doesn't :/  maybe that happens only on a crash.

I'm not very sure how to help out now.  You could join a complete log of
strace (strace abiword 2>& abiword.strace), also a backtrace from gdb
(execute “gdb abiword”, then type “set logging on abiword.gdb”, and type
“run”).

On a side thought, you can run killall xfce-mcs-manager and start
abiword without it.  This will make sure that the theme settings are
making abiword unhappy!
