Okay, so this isn't an issue in the launcher at all!
After inspecting all parts of the launcher, and wondering a lot about
why it works if I compile the launcher from scratch, but not if I use
the launcher in the archive, I've figured it out:
The missing netbook-launcher.mo in /usr/share/locale-
langpack/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES means that when the launcher initially set's
up it's translations using the bindlocaledomain methods etc, they fail
without warning, but also screw up translations in the rest of the
program, which effects gnome-menus.
On my netbook, with a clean install of UNR, I copied netbook-launcher.mo
for the russian language from an isolated install in opt/ to /usr/share
/locale-langpack/ru/LC_MESSAGES/netbook-launcher.mo and then restarted
the launcher in LANG=ru_RU.utf8. Everything worked perfectly.
We need to figure out what is happening to the launchers .mo files...why
aren't they being included in the langpacks?
