Hi Luis,

this is a known problem, yes.
The all bells and whistles singing and dancing
to-be-released-any-year-now new stable 2.6 does away with the use of
the old (deprecated in gtk) toolbar and the dead options.
Unfortunately it won't have a customisable toolbar either, as it's not
supported by gtk proper, abiword is using a horribly complicated cross
platform abstraction layer for that kind of things, and the general
short-handedness of the project.

Sorry to be the bearer or such bad news,
Rob
