As this has become a major policy decision am moving the thread to core.

Any updates on these two issues. cc-ing to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well.

I have said many times that I have absolutely no problem with bn
shortcuts.
Can you share more details about the distro and any other patches that
you might be using, so that this option can be explored further.
There's been no decision in this regard in Ankur either. So please
clarify this
through further discussion in the core list.
There have been ***numerous*** mails sent about this issue over the past
2 years hoping that after discussing it thoroughly a consensus would be
reached.
Links follow.

#1 was sent by me sometime in 2004. No answer till date. In the link #2
jamil had specifically requested for everyone on a consensus on this
issue. same for #3.The minutes of the ankur meeting had been posted
about a month back and no comments have come in so far about any of the
issues, barring one reply from jamil this morning.
If there's a decision then I'll
update the GTK+ and gtk+-properties POs immediately. But let the
decision come first.
As I have said in my last mail gtk+* files override some of the
important menu items in Gnome appilcations e.g. file, new, cut, copy,
paste etc. etc. which results in nearly 40% of the menu items picking up
bn shortcuts from the gtk+* files, even though the shortcuts in that
particular application use english shortcuts. in the case of gtk+*
files..shortcut keys are not the only issue. even the menu entries get
overridden.
It would be quite confusing to the users if GNOME uses en shortcuts and
KDE uses bn.
agreed. and even more confusing if half of the interface of a single
application in either of the two desktop interfaces do not match.
generally it is considered that languages using non-latin scripts should
stick to the original english shortcuts for the sake of consistency.
Especially languages which use half-form conjuncts. A nice link for
this:

Given that important issues like this come up in fits and starts and
raise their heads like ghosts from the past with people reluctant to
talk, the only solution i see is throwing issues open to vote and then
going by that decision.
