Strange strace output & Abiword crash

I asked a similar question before, without getting any answers, so I try again:

When I run strace <some command>, the output starts with a lot of lines saying that this-and-that file belonging to programs I no longer have installed cannot be found. One of them is FlightGear, another is bfcommander (which, btw, I do have installed..). The same kind of entries return here and there throughout the output.
Here's the beginning:

execve("/usr/bin/abiword", ["abiword"], [/* 77 vars */]) = 0
brk(0)                                  = 0x8592000

This only happens if I run it as my own user; as root, there are no such lines.
I don't know enough about the internals to understand why these files are looked for - can someone enlighten me?
Most of them seem to have to do with pango - could that be it?

Also, the reason why I ran this now, is that Abiword crashes no matter what I do. The splash screen comes on for a split second and then disappears. This happens when I try to start it under KDE as my own user. I've also tried sudo abiword with the same result. But if I use another wm, such as fluxbox, the same happens when I'm user, but there, sudo abiword starts the program.
Here's the end of the strace output:
