Can't these be brought up on proper GNOME lists then? Especially seeing as there is no public archive for your GNU list.
We use this list for private discussions about GNU in general. Sometimes the issues relate to GNOME, but that doesn't mean they're specifically about GNOME. It would be useful for some GNOME developers with responsibility and influence to be included. In the middle of a broader discussion about internationalization, not specifically about GNOME, someone mentioned this: Another problem I stumbled upon is the new habit of software like Gnome and/or desktop handlers to use localized names for directories such as ~/Desktop. This is a pure nuisance, depending on my locale ~/Desktop becomes ~/Bureau or ~/Labortablo. A GNOME developer in the list would have seen this and could have responded, raises the issue in the appropriate GNOME list, or whatever is TRT. It isn't feasible for me, and I don't know who to ask. (I think that person was right: learning one English word `Desktop' is not much of a burden, and on the other hand, this feature can cause a real nuisance for users that use multiple locales.) -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
