Actually I am realizing that the gimp version running on OSX is based on
gtk2 so it might not be so easy with gnumeric-1.12 and gtk3.

Anyway, meanwhile, it would be good to list on gnumeric's website the 'not
so easy' ways to install gnumeric on osx via fink, macports or homebrew.

Best regards,

Frédéric
