Another option is to use rpmfind.net - it shows gnumeric-1.0.5 from
RedHat's RawHide and 1.0.4 Ximian's packages for (almost) all major
distros, including RH 7.1 and 7.2.  

 But this will not automatically resolve dependencies. So my suggestion
is, upgrade all of GNOME - using Ximian's Red Carpet (this is what I did
- I also have 7.1). It is free and relatively easy. It does take a
while, though - but requires practically o intervention.
