Trivial.  Edit plugins/excel/plugin.xml.in and add
    default_saver_priority=51 (or any number > 50)
To any of the file_saver declarations
eg
    <service type="file_saver" id="excel_biff8" file_extension="xls"
     default_saver_priority="100"

This takes a smidge more work.  The gnome-print settings management
is undergoing a bit of a change.  For newer gnumeric's (I don't
think its in 1.1.15) you may be able to just print a document to
those settings and it will remember it.  Have a look in gconf dir
    /apps/gnumeric/printer-config
