Indeed, it looks like xdg-utils only Suggests libgnomevfs2-bin, you
might want to file a separate bug against the xdg-utils package about
this.

gnome-vfs still seems to think that abiword should open this file. Can
you check if you have a ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list file,
and if so, see if temporary moving it helps.

You could also check for abiword-usercustom.desktop, should be in
~/.local/share/applications/ and moving it out of the way.

Please save the files as they might be needed later to reproduce the
bug.

Thanks for testing this, it does indeed seem like this is the same as
upstream 6320.
