That patch does not really work. Priting support is missing (can be
commented out, but with loss of functionality) and there is a weird
bug:

AbiGOChart.cpp: In member function 'void GOChartView::modify()':
AbiGOChart.cpp:833: error: cannot convert 'GtkWindow*' to 'GClosure*'
for argument '4' to 'GtkWidget* gog_guru(GogGraph*, GogDataAllocator*,
GOCmdContext*, GClosure*)'

(this is from the 2.6 branch, but the stable branch has an
almost-identical error)

Even Abiword trunk is still using goffice 0.4 . Per this debian-bugs post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg427582.html

The lack of printing support discussed seems to suggest updating
Abiword to use 0.4 instead. I can just drop in the plugin from trunk
in that case.
