Some more info.  I'm trying to compile it with bonobo support (I have 0.4),
and I believe this is where the problem lies.  Apparently the function call
to gnome_client_site_new_item has changed since the initial release, and
Gnumeric 0.39 relies on the newer version.  It would be nice to have an
updated bonobo tarball that would work with the newest Gnumeric.  And I
believe the configure script for Gnumeric should be updated as well,
because it was only looking for bonobo >= 0.2.
