Buggy menu with locale set to iso

[Cédric Bellegarde]

In my work, i have to work in iso-8859-1 to be compatible with the rest of the world...

Sorry, but utf8 is really a pain in a professional environnement...

So i have G_FILENAME_ENCODING=@locale

But, with this, my gnome menu are totally buggy in bagger!

Thanks for your bug. confirmed using fr_FR@euro. If that was working before dapper that's probably due to the language pack changes for it. Martin, any idea on that?

Looks like this and bug 37814 having a common problem - some menus are not displayed under non-UTF-8 locale.

@Sebastien: I don't have any idea off the top of my head, sorry. This requires a thorough debug session, I'm afraid

I reported the bug <a href="https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/43952"> >#43952</a>, that appeared after change my locale from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1.

Closing superfluous gnome-panel task.

I think I tracked this down, testing a fix now.

 glib2.0 (2.10.2-1ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/001_gettext_desktopfiles.patch: If we get a translation
     with gettext(), convert the string to UTF-8. This fixes empty labels in
     the panel menu, and probably some other things. Closes: LP#29640

Bingo!

Martin: I updated Dapper today and the problem [1] is still there; no fix yet.

Miguel: yes, it takes a while until it trickles to the archive. Check again in ~ 3 hours. :)

It's fixed now; great work ;-)
