Based on bug #131162, I think it might be running a tiny instance of AbiWord to try to display the ics file, rather than the correct ics viewer component. Please can you confirm this by typing "ps ax | grep abiword" (assuming AbiWord isn't running separately). If that doesn't show up, looking through the output of "ps ax" may be able to help determine which application is being run.
I am not authorised to access bug #131162 but you're right, removing abiword fixes the problem. Though it's a poor workaround at best [nim@rousalka ~]$ ps ax | grep AbiWord 9266 ? S 0:00 AbiWord-2.0 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_AbiWord_ControlFactory --oaf-ior-fd=53 9306 pts/1 R+ 0:00 grep AbiWord
I don't know why 131162 was marked as private, but it's similar to this one. Thanks for confirming this; it looks like there's a general problem with component activation for attachments (launching the wrong one, or none at all). I'll look into it further...
The particular abiword/ics interaction seems to be fixed now so I'm closing the bug
This would have been fixed with gnome-vfs2-2.8.0, I believe; sorry not to have informed you, and thanks for closing the bug.
