I just reinstalled it too.  ;-)

I don't see any stray pixels like you're seeing. One thing I notice is
that your cursor is a lot thicker than the one I'm seeing.  If Abiword
is expecting you to have a thinner cursor, that might be why it doesn't
erase the extra pixels when you move it.

I also see several differences in the appearance of your toolbar buttons
and other UI elements.  What window manager are you using, and what
theme?
