I referred to the inability to create graphs as a strong reason to create
a new binary for win32 users. I don't consider fixing a feature that used
to work a feature request.

That is certainly the major problem. None of you are developing on (or
even have access to) a Windows machine. One action that is guaranteed to
crash Gnumeric under Windows is just to Change Paper Type...
