    Hi,
    For curiousity sake, I asked this in gnumeric mailing list, and here is the
    reply I got from one of the developers. Please let me know if you tried the
    solution and worked. As I said in previous posting, I decided to downgrade to
    RH 7.3 due to these problems, thus I don't have RH 8.0 installed to play
    around at the moment.

    By the way, where to Redhat did you send your e-mail? Do you file a bug in
    their bugzilla? If you do I am interested in watching their comment/reply to
    the bugzilla.

    Thanks.
