FWIW, I can't reproduce crash with Clearlooks, Mist or Industrial theme.
Are there any other ways to reproduce it (other than entering
"=sin(42)+min(12,23)" and quitting, I mean) or any other info that I can
provide?

Tested with (latest in ports):
gnumeric-1.7.11
goffice-0.4.2
gtk-2.10.14
gtk-engines2-2.10.2

on FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Aug  3 19:21:13 MSD 2007 amd64
