Comment 3 vgrebenschikov 2003-11-19 14:00:04 UTC 
Problem fixed by full cleaning of /var/tmp and /tmp

(I can't guess what file/directory confuse gnumeric start)

Anyway I think crash is not better way do display diagnostic about 
invalid temporary file permissions.
Comment 4 Andreas J. Guelzow 2003-11-19 14:48:19 UTC 
the user has accesibility support enabled while root has not... This
is a well known (non-gnumeric) bug in the accessibility system.
