It might help to be a little more specific, when possible. Non-technical users generally search help on the net, and the more specific is the message, the more chances they will find something useful: "An error occurred while trying to foo on bar" or "The configuration of foo seems to be broken on your system" Claude _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
