Ok using strace i found the following line by grepping..
-- open("/usr/share/locale/ne/LC_MESSAGES/gnomemeeting.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ---------- which means this the good way i can get the names.. i will check them.. but i can't use strace whoese binary executable is not known.... like: libgtop and others... i don;t know which binary application is using libgtop.
