How do I get my numpad to work properly in AbiWord? For the moment it's either dead (numlock on) or it works like arrow keys (numlock off).
Hmmm. You'd have a better chance of getting an answer if you
asked that question in a GNOME forum. After all abiword is
not a KDE app so there probably won't be that many users
of abiword around here...
Does your keypad work as expected with other apps?
If it doesn't then the problem may be at the X level
(keyboard configuration/layout).

Is it possible to port avi-codecs directly to Linux from windows, or do I have to start looking for codecs all over again?
If you mean by "porting" that you want to be able to
use
them then the answer is yes, at least for mplayer.
I don't know if it works with codecs you provide (actually
I don't think so), but it comes with a big stock of codecs from the
win platform (it's a separate download). Note that some distros
come with stripped-down versions of mplayer that are missing those
codecs (probably due to legal problems). In that case you're
better off if you build it yourself.
