I have just uploaded a new version of Gnumeric 1.8.0 which should fix the crash when opening the "File -> Open" dialog a second time in one session. (So it should now have more or less just the same issues like Gnumeric 1.6.3.)

Please note: I do not intend to do any updates for Gnumeric 1.6.3 because it is very old, 1.8.0 is the new stable version of Gnumeric (although it is not offically announced yet ), the patch needed to modify the Gnumeric-Sources for Maemo is very small for 1.8.0 because most party are allready included in Gnumeric - the patch for 1.6.3 was very huge, which means that supporting 1.8.0 on maemo is much less work compared to supporting 1.6.3, the very outdated version.

Regarding the formatting issues: I checked it again and you are right, it is still there, verfied with a file in created in Gnumeric on my Desktop-PC, saved as .xls-file -> wrong formating, saved as .gnumeric -> everything fine.

When i start Gnumeric from xterm, there are some signs that i can not convert the file from codepage 1252 to UTF-8, see yourself:

Code:
Reading file:///home/user/MyDocs/.documents/test.xls
gnumeric[5923]: GLIB WARNING ** default - Unable to open an iconv handle from codepage 1252 -> UTF-8
gnumeric[5923]: GLIB WARNING ** gnumeric:read - missing convertor for codepage 1252
falling back to 1252
gnumeric[5923]: GLIB WARNING ** default - Unable to open an iconv handle from codepage 1252 -> UTF-8
Excel 97 +
So at least it is more or less clear where i have to look to find a fix, i hope i can spend a few hours on this issue next weekend.
