Can't enable VI keybindings

Bug Description

Abiword is supposed to support VI and Emacs keybindings. See section 2.2 in

http://www.abisource.com/help/en-US/problems/problemsfaq.html

or

http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Apps/abiword-vi-mode.html

Whichever style of configuration I use, Abiword simply ignores the setting and overwrites the file when I quit it.

This is a relatively normal installation of Dapper.

Don't edit the file with AbiWord open. It is much like Mozilla, it will be overwritten.

And the proper line is

                KeyBindings="viEdit"

Not the case.

Works for me.

I did test with Abiword closed. I still see the bug. Seems to be it's specific to this computer. I'll get back to you if I see it on other installations. Thanks!
