Description:
Latex export filter does not use the column widths set in gnumeric;
 instead, it uses tabular environment which sets column widths 
automatically to fit the widest entry. It is acceptable in most cases; 
however, when some of spreadsheet cells contain long text entries 
which use "Wrap text" option (from "cell format->alignment->Control"), 
the  latex export becomes a disaster.

Possible fix: use \parbox{<colwidth>}{<cell entry>} for cells which use
text wrap option
