This is the old mac menu bug. Just click elsewhere in your desktop and
then back again to coccinella.
If you want a fix for this you have to do it yourself. Daniel who is
very clever failed...

No because avatars are normally much larger than simple status icons.
These icons are always 16x16 which no avatar has. Well, I scale down
avatars anyway so they fit, but scaling a normal avatar size 64x64 to
16x16 makes absolutely no sense.

Think all these are fixed now.

> * For the balloon text of both the Mood and Activity buttons, you should use lower case names. So instead of e.g. "Mood: Happy", you should show "Mood: happy". This means all Mood and activity strings need a lower case duplicate version. To make it easier for translators you probably best put the lower case version under the original version of th string.

If it is possible to user upper case names this makes life much easier
for translators. I have this comment in en.msg:
...
::msgcat::mcset en mThirsty Thirsty
::msgcat::mcset en mWorried Worried

::msgcat::mcset en moodEvent {Mood change}
::msgcat::mcset en moodRetracted {retracted mood}
# Why not reuse them above?
::msgcat::mcset en heIs is
::msgcat::mcset en because because
...

Question is if I should not skip all the mSomeMood in favour of "Some Mood".
Although they are used in menus there should never be any "&"
(underline) in them anyway, except maybe for the mMood and mActivity.
