This is because of differences between MS windows and UNIX in how they

It does look like we should use the gtk-wimp theme and their gtkrc by

the other pieces are also nice. The new gtk-wimp .dll and gtkrc fixed
the scrollbars in windows xp, but broke them differently u

Hello,
Both are great pieces of software; glad you are working with them.
Saving to .RData doesn't make much sense in a complex environment. You
are much better off getting familiar with using Gnumeric's text
import/export to go to text files and using R's read.table() or similar
functions to go
View -> Freeze panes
e.g.
1) click on row 10
2) View -> freeze panes
==> only 11 on scrolls
we could also have
1) click on B12
