I am having a different problem startin gnumeric on my SL-C860. When I try to launch gnumeric, an error message appears as follows:
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information in gnumeric. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.
The shell shows a large number of errors like the following:
** (gnumeric:9565): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/blah/blah : because Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0
** (gnumeric:9565): WARNING **: Using default value 'some_value'
(gnumeric:9565): Bonobo-WARNING **: Failed to get '/desktop/gnome/some/other/blah': 'Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0'
Meanwhile, clicking OK a few hundred times will actually make the error dialogs go away. Then I have to go through the same thing again when I try to open an existing file. This time, when I madly clock OK to make the dialog dissappear, the file fails to load.
Gnumeric is not usable for me in this state.
I have tried removing gnumeric and reinstalling it - same issue.
I have tried reflashing the ROM from scratch and installing gnome-base-libs before installing gnumeric - same issue.
Considering this started right away from a fresh ROM flash, I am suprised that no one else has had this problem.
Is there some initialization step I must perform for gnome, bonobo, or CORBA before gnome apps will work in the new ROM?
