Something to be done _after_ 1.4 (apply the changes to the HEAD of
gnome-libs, please!):

Agreed.  But as I said that's a gnome-libs issue.  After 1.4 we should
cleanup the strings in gnome-libs :)

I'll file a bug report.

I believe the Usability Guidelines might say something about this when
they are ready. Keyword "Usability" might be appropriate on this bug.
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2003-05-18 19:18:27 UTC
I think this was fixed for 2.0.x. Please file bugs against specific
apps if any are misbehaving still...
