That presumes there are different UIs for different objects, which is
not necessarily true. For example, "New" is used in four places, once
is a scheme file, once in a glade file, and twice in C source files.
So, yea, that might be changable.. Feel free to submit a patch
against CVS HEAD (I don't want to gratuitously change strings in 1.8).
If you can find places where you can differentiate, feel free to do
so. I'm not adverse to fixing the problem, but I just think it might
be difficult to do so in all places.
