Probably it dependso n what prefixes you use.  The fact that it
appears in the menu suggests that it is in the right place.  It
looks ok (has Embeddable).

The trick here is two fold.
1) OAF_DEBUG_OUTPUT is a flag for the oafd.  you need to restart it
before you set the flag.  (oaf-slay _CAREFUL_ this will kill all
oafish things like nautilus).

2) The problem is almost certainly not in the oaffile.  abiword is
being invoked incorrectly, or is not happy when it is invoked.  Run
the abiword command and see what it says.  Do you have multiple
abiwords installed, possibly running the wrong one ?
