Sleep-deprivation starting to cause keyboard errors, huh? We all been
there! :)
Without having _any_ personal experience of gnumeric (or even gnome, to
speak of), my best educated guess would be that your best shot would be to
get yourself a proper, fresh and correctly running install of all the Gnome
2 stuff (don't forget the -devel packages if there are any) and then try
really hard to get gnumeric built from source. It needs to be recompiled;
it's not just a matter of forging the dll names, because functions and
behaviours will probably have changed between gnome 1 and gnome 2. I don't
know if they're supposed to be binary-compatible, but it wouldn't surprise
me to hear that apps need to be recompiled with all the new header files and
libraries.
cheers,
DaveK
