I agree, I can export all data to xmgrace and I can use it. But I talk 
about fast method of ploting. I would like just to mark two (or more) 
columns of data and send it to xmgrace (with correct labels and so on.. 
.) .  Up to now  xmgrace it is the best program for plotting for linux 
(I like it more then commericial origin)  it is open source  and still, 
new version are presented.

"I wouldn't call them 'bad looking' - a lot of work is being done on
the new graphics routines, and I'm sure the sophistication will come in
due time."

Yes that true, gnumeric team spent a lot of time to make this graphs 
better and better but  in the best case plots will look like excel plots 
(that is my opinion). Is it not better just to make simple plugin to 
gnumeric which can send data xmgrace  and the rest of problem live for 
xmgrace team. From user point of view I prefere to have very good plots 
now, then just good plot in the future. Another thing is that for 
gnumeric plots you need to implement much more options (e.g: fitting, 
integratiing, shifting of data and so on). This is not so simple.

Best regards
