This problem went away. I am not quite sure when. To be honest, I had forgotten about this bug report which I should have closed. I suspect that it was probably a GUI problem, but I use xfce. In passing on a completely unrelated issue, I suspect the packaging dependencies miss a required font package. On one machine the fonts are too large (overflow cells) while the same file.gnumeric is rendered properly on this machine. I keep meaning to compare the two installations and try to work out which font is needed. But it is a minor annoyance which is why I haven't got around to doing anything about it yet.
