I changed that line to read:

%config /etc/CORBA/servers/gnumeric.gnorba

which is the approach that gnumeric 0.47 took.  It's not the most elegant
approach, and it won't work at all if you use an alternate sysconfdir (e.g.
/usr/local/etc) but in that case you could substitute the appropriate directory
for /etc.
