This problem has been fixed in the CVS version of GNOME.  It will be
available really soon, we need to do some more testing because we have 
undergone a major style rewrite (actually, Michael did) so we need to
fix a few more bugs and test a few more things before we release a new 
version of Gnumeric.

But, yes, this is fixed and Michael's code is so much better than what 
we had before for styles that we can now mimick excel much much
better style-wise.  For the first time :-)

Best wishes,
Miguel.
