Description Sriram Kallidaikurichi 2003-08-21 23:21:35 UTC 
Environment: Gnome 2.2 

1. Login into any of the locale
2. Create a launcher (a "shortcut") on the desktop and give it a name
   (either - Name or Generic name)
3. Then log out and log in to another locale, the launcher caption is
   'No name'.

I've "fixed" this in the HEAD branch on CVS.  However it is tough to
fix completely correctly.  If the user keeps switching languages and
editting the names of the icon, the edits will only affect that
language.  the panel expects that what the user is putting in is in
the current language.  That's really tough to change right now, and
perhaps it is ok.  What I did in cvs is that on create I also set the
"C" locale entries to whatever the user typed in for the three
translatable fields.    That should be a "good enough" solution.  So
it solves your problem, though it doesn't solve the deeper problem
(which may not really be a problem).  I don't think people switch
languages all that often.
