Re: gnumeric is inexplicably broken on my machine: Now working

Gnumeric is now working---again, inexplicably!  The only difference I can see is I am using icewm.  I haven't 
upgraded any packages.

I have steadily endeavored to keep my mind free, so as to give up any
hypothesis, however much beloved -- and I cannot resist forming one 
on every subject -- as soon as facts are shown to be opposed to it.

The right to search for truth implies also a duty; one must not
conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.

As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others we should
be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of
ours, and this we should do freely and generously.
