Comment 1 Luis Villa 2002-05-15 18:08:14 UTC 
This is a known bug that is being worked on.  Hopefully, it will be
fixed in GNOME 1.4.1.

In the meantime, if you're using Red Hat Linux, please try the
gnome-libs and gnome-core packages available at
http://www.gnome.org/~kmaraas and see if those help. If
you do choose to install these packages, it would be a really great
help to us if you report back the results.

Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2002-05-15 21:33:44 UTC 
Please also tell us what version of gettext you have and which locale
you are running with? You could try using Posix/C locale and see if
that makes the problem go away.
