Comment 4 for bug 6443

The bug was originally filed as Debian #195600 which is now marked as fixed in gnumeric (1.5.3-1). I'm not sure how they achieved that, unless they switched gnumeric to make use of libgnomeprint in a different manner.

* The following issues have been fixed upstream:
     * Page settings, including paper orientation, are now restored properly on
       load. (Closes: #195600, #236024)

A quick scan of the debian bugtracker for libgnomeprint, gnumeric, gedit and abiword doesn't turn up this bug today.
