If we really wanna be compatible across Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu then we 
should set default save format in AbiWord to OpenDocument. There are no 
applications in Ubuntu or Kubuntu, which supports .abw format, so, documents, 
made by Xubuntu users are not readable with Kubuntu or Ubuntu :(
KDE KOffice/KWord already uses OpenDocument as default file format, so, just 
set AbiWord to OpenDocument as default and all users will be happy, none wanna 
care about file formats these days :)

Of course, we should check how OpenDocument export/import plugin works
with latest AbiWord version (it seems ver. 2.6 soon will be released) -
if the quality of OpenDocument export/import plugin is good enough -
then we can set default save format to OpenDocument, if there are too
many problems - then we should give some information for users, how to
change default file format (most of users wanna set RTF to default save
format of Abiword). It's too hard to change default file format in
AbiWord for most of Desktop users - the only way to do this is editing
of config  file, see http://bugzilla.abiword.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3325 :

You can go edit your AbiWord.Profile file and add the following line to
the _custom_ scheme

DefaultSaveFormat=".rtf"

where .rtf is the common extension of the format you want...

OpenDocument plugin should be shipped with Abiword, not -plugins
