This is far from trivial. A lot of applications do more than just gettext on GTK+ labels, and changing an Xsetting or something else isn't going to magically make them refresh all their data. I'm not saying it's not a worthy cause. But many applications are written assuming that locale information doesn't change in their lifecycle, so there will be a lot of work ahead of us to get all these apps responding to locale changes. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
