I'm using 0.10.5 at the moment and works like a breeze for me.
gnome-system-monitor (destkop application, not applet) does crash
from time to time, but it's mostly harmles, and yelp does not seem
to be working. I haven't experienced any problems with nautilus and
gnumeric you are describing. I uninstalled my gnome 1.4 to get rid
of extreneous items in system settings menu and I'm happy with that.

I built 0.12.0 on a remote machine that is substantialy stronger than
my box at home, and I can't wait to go to the site and burn it onto
a CD...

Good luck with building/running 0.12.0
