use dcgettext() instead of _() when setting the "Starting %s" label (665 bytes, patch)

Description noa 2003-08-06 18:55:06 UTC
The label text of the "Starting XXX" in the task list on the panel doens't
get translated even though a translation exists in the messages catalogs.

Some experimenting reveals that this probably is the result of a missing
call to the textdomain() function before gettext() is called (defined to
_() in the actual code) since I can get the message translated with the
attached UglyPatch^tm.

Someone with better understanding than me on where to add the proper
textdomain() call should do that instead of just applying the patch.

Bumping severity to normal, this is a fairly visible string.

I can no longer reproduce this problem with gnome-desktop-2.4.0-1 from
fedora core 1, and it seems to be fixed upstream as no patch is
included  in the src rpm related to this. If anyone can verify this I
suppose this should be closed as FIXED
Comment 4 Mark McLoughlin 2004-02-16 08:39:18 UTC
Please re-open if it turns out hasn't been fixed
