I could use a script what kills an excisting Abiword and opens the 
document readonly in Abiword. Maybe with some X-commands to put Abiword 
on some place on the screen.

Because the customer is using OpenOffice, I could make Abiword really 
basic. I could do something for PDFs too.

A bad hack, but less work as making an application...

I would really like it more to do something in Nautilus. Is it still 
possible to use plugins in Nautilus?  If yes, where can I find the specs 
how to make a Nautilus plugin?
