OK, after updating to the "GnomeHide" RPM I now have a chart guru in
my Gnumeric. Almost nothing works, it's certainly not possible to
complete the Guru and actually create a chart, a typical set of errors
look like:

Is it really this hard? I was honestly expecting that Gnumeric 1.0 would
mark a place where I could tell users to try Gnumeric instead of Excel,
but the lack of charts makes that seem impossibly distant.
