This appears to be a side effect more than anything.

There's no good reason to have the dialog prepend 'Confirm' in front of the title. We can refactor that out to make the strings more translatable. > 6) All the yes/no/close button in the standard dialog boxes are in only > in english. That uses gtk.BUTTONS_YES_NO Hmm, we may need to start shipping GTK translation files. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
