AbiWord does not set its own double click speeds for any GTK widgets.
GTK will get that event from GDK, which reads the clicks from X. It should be
constant throughout all GTK applications, unless some author deliberately
changed it for some reason. GDK sets the timing constraints at 250
milliseconds, and you could re-compile GDK if you wanted to change this.
I am somewhat surprised GDK hard-codes this.
