Please note that the data filter interface (dialogs, behaviour for 
`in-place', etc.) are substantially different for cvs head than for cvs 
gnome_1_4, the latter being the code for gnumeric 1.0.x while the former 
for gnumeric 1.1.x. When porting to gnome 2 I took the opportunity of 
making substantial chages to the filter.
