After getting gdk-pixbuf (didn't need it before?), had some small errors
in configure script:

sed: can't read ./src/guppi-gnumeric/Makefile.in: No such file or
directory

sed: can't read ./src/guppi-gnumeric/guppi-gnumeric.oafinfo.in: No such
file or directory

sed: can't read ./plug-ins/plot/XLplots/Makefile.in: No such file or
directory

This was with a ./configure --disable-python
Interestingly it still creates a python-server makefile with this:

creating src/python-server/Makefile

OK, is now built and played with :)

Nice tool buttons! Addition of the 'visible' toggles on the configure
boxes.
Pie-chart rotation is fine; repeated dragging-out behaves very oddly?

Re multiple views, will multiple views only be possible on multiple
windows (unlinked views)? I'm trying to see a reason for linked views...
You could have something like in grace, where there is a 'stack' of
views which you can push new ones onto, plus cycle through. Ideally it
would be like an 'undo' list, showing all the changes that you've made,
perhaps?

Should 'home' be a 'mouse tool'?
You cannot start a reframe outside of the plot, but can end it outside.
Print preview of the 'homed' plot is fine, but if zoomed in the boxplots
(and data) goes outside the plot frame.

In fact, large amounts of:
---
Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from `(unknown)' to `GuppiPlotCanvas'

libguppiplot-CRITICAL **: file guppi-plot-canvas.c: line 1128
(position_item): assertion `canv != NULL && GUPPI_IS_PLOT_CANVAS(canv)'
failed.

Then (lt-guppi) crashed with:
---
Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from `(unknown)' to `GnomeCanvasItem'

Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to `GuppiPlotCanvas'

libguppiplot-CRITICAL **: file guppi-plot-canvas.c: line 1128

Ah, well that's enough comments for now :)

HTH,
