The desktop menu entry for abiword-1.99.2-2 does not have an icon. It used to in previous redhat abiword packages. To reproduce: From the gnome panel main menu, go to Office > More Office Applications; the AbiWord item does not have an icon. Drag'n'dropping the menu item to a panel results in a launcher being created that has the default footprint icon, and an error dialog is displayed "Failed to load image abiword_48.png, Details: file not found".
Fixed in CVS
