Please describe the problem:
If a selection from an Excel spreadsheet is copied and pasted into Gnumeric, the 
entire worksheet is pasted but all cells are blank except those selected in 
Excel. One is unable to paste cell values either; cells formulas are pasted and 
'paste special' is greyed out.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Highlight something in Excel
2. Copy to clipboard
3. Paste into gnumeric

Actual results:
A whole range of blank cells that were not selected in Excel are pasted into 
Gnumeric.

Expected results:
I would expect only the selected cells to be pasted and to be allowed the option 
to paste the cell values instead of the formulas

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
It's obviously not too serious a problem as the excel files open acceptably in 
Gnumeric anyway.
