AFAIK, the ie_imp_KWord_1.cpp importer does not need any KDE modules, so
I expect that this is just a bug in the KWord importer which can't
handle a (possibly corrupt) document

Correct, libgnomeprint is always needed. Note that it only depends on
gnomecanvas, which itself depends on nothing GNOMEy. So you don't need
to pull in the complete gnome stack for abiword.
