Please explain when these strings are used.
Its because users might like to use lower case versions of the names. The default for desktop is ~/Desktop, but the sysadmin might want ~/desktop instead. When we translate the filename we call gettext on each path element, meaning we'll use $HOME/_("desktop") in the later case. So, the lowercase strings should be translated with lowercase. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] He's a suave small-town vampire hunter who knows the secret of the alien invasion.
