1) you 'have been to the web site',  Which website ?  The latest
   stable release is 1.0.12.  It and its siblings are definitely
   announced on www.gnumeric.org in the download section.  Sounds
   like you are looking in the wrong place.

2) The only fixes going into the 1.0.x series are bug patches.  If
   1.0.5 is working for you then there is no significant need to
   upgrade.

3) To disable the message just do
        touch `which gnumeric`
   (you may need to be root)

4) Ximian is still shipping 1.0.5 ?? blah.  I did ximian packages of
   1.0.12 on 7.3.  I'll ask around about how to get those pushed.

Hope that helps
