The way the comment was presented (and granted, we're missing context here) was as if this behavior was a bug.
I doubt anyone believed the behavior was unintentional. So it's definitely not a bug in the strict sense of the term. The question raised in that discussion was whether this behavior was better or worse than an alternative. I mentioned that issue as an example of a discussion, not in order to argue about it at length. But since we're talking about it, here's a suggestion people might perhaps like. When creating a directory named with a translation of the word "Desktop", for use as a desktop, how about making that a symlink to "Desktop" under suitable circumstances? That way, if you change locales, you will still have the same desktop contents. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
