Your problems with gnumeric not honoring your system setting for default
printer is a puzzle. I can't duplicate it, and evidently no one else
sees an explanation. Since you say certain other programs give similar
symptoms, while some others seem to behave properly, it sounds to me
that there is a class of applications for which the gnome configuration
framework/system is not working.
Actually, it seems to be Gnome which ignores my chosen default printer
since the only apps affected are Gnomish apps. And to put a finer point
on it, it seems that *all* Gnomish apps are afflicted.
Since no one (here) can reproduce the behavior you are seeing, another
question I can think of is have you kept up with your system updates
(yum update)? It could be there is a known problem already solved by
some update. Of course it could be one of those nasty cases where
somehow, some configuration data got messed up, and none of the software
is good enough at detecting/reporting/compensating-for the problem <sigh>.
It's not likely to be "one of those nasty cases" since I had the same
problem in FC3, and this FC4 install has no connection whatsoever with
any of the data from FC3 (on a failed HD without backup):
You may want to summarize your problem and post it to (say) the gnumeric
list (see http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list).
Perhaps you might first search or browse the archives available from the
link on that same page.
You could also proceed directly to the bugzilla page for gnumeric
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=Gnumeric
and search or post a new bug.
Does gnome have a list? archives? bugzilla? It's not just gnumeric.
