Natürlich. (Sure.) I think we have to concentrate on tab and configurator non-printed letter problems. Tab is clear. I investigate more on the configurator issue, but there're at least two probs: * Label is broken, for non-english letters like é. Other widgets look okay. (Very strange. Why?) * Japanese & Chinese, at least, have a peculiar problem, again *labels only*. All translated strings are replaced by "Project-Id-Version..." (lasts several lines!), which appear under first "msgstr" of po/ja.po . This was introduced by A I Froloff's patch, commited on May 3. Before that, nothing were printed. (You can't conclude it's wrong, because non-english is not printed anyway.) So it may be a regression, but not sure. (I don't speak Chinese.) Broken configurator is a disaster. If it remains in the 1.5.0, it's quite likely to lose sawfish users. So it MUST BE fixed. I'd like to remind ourselves one more point. Recent release were done in relaxed manner. It's ok, but for 1.5, we should at least make efforts to make the release error-free, because the release is not for the community, but we're responisble for the whole world. We should release only once. (I mean the release be ok, not strictly bug-free sawfish.) So we've got to release a candidate, and compilation tests are needed. And if user doc remains the same, we have to delete it from the release, or at least put the notice "Still a draft, sorry." Etc, etc. Other goals are lesser, and we can simply postpone them for 1.5.1, in my opinion. > About the "new" Sawfish-UI ... as in the Proposed_Goals, the reason why > only double clicks are accepted[...] > > so is there the need for the GtkTreeView() for 1.5.0, or is it > enough in 1.5.1? [...] (just for the record, since some already > said, that they don't want 1.5.0 to delay) "somebody", it's me? :) I'd say the Gtktree rework is for 1.5.1. I don't like too much interval between the last release and 1.5. But if it turns out easy, don't hesitate. Anyway it's good to review rep-gtk, so please swing your magic rod for us in near future. We're not sure for rep-gtk status. If the rework reveals something more, please report them. > A) > > Mark all strings that should be translated with (_ ) > eg "sawfish is great" -> (_ "sawfish is great") I don't know what is 'all', but at least all in configurator GUI. Most of the work is simple, but needs continuous work.

I think Sawfish needs revision anyway, and I don't think this file is not so special.

Please report bugs you've noticed, at ML or in wiki. (Page 'Tab' is there.) > Thanks for reading, Thank you for raising the issue :) And thank you all for reading. Teika (Teika kazura)
