Hello Nobuhiro Iwamatsu,

Thank you for your answer!

Can you explain why it's a problem? I guess you're right and it's maybe not a good idea to use this tild character right there but we want to fix this bug for all users ;)

Yes, as I said, it's not a problem to change anything (BTW thank you to check our code and test it carefully!) but don't hesitate to report these changes, questions or bugs to us ;)

No it's not a big deal. It's just because Cairo-Dock packages have been created first for Ubuntu (it was a choice of a former contributor, sorry for that) and it seems the packages have been totally rewritten and we don't know why.

It's maybe a good idea to fix this bug. But as I said, I understand this choice but this package has been uploaded on Ubuntu before to be uploaded on Debian and this package has been proposed on Debian with the same name.. (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=493736)

We understand and we respect your opinion but we strongly discourage packagers from doing that...

I know it was not the right place to do that but you said 'I see' (comment 11) so I guessed it was ok for you => https://bugs.launchpad.net/cairo-dock-plug-ins/+bug/540648
(except that you said 'せん' (No?) on the same line but I don't know why)

To conclude, thank you to maintain these packages but if you want, I can propose to you a new version of these packages with the same settings as Cairo-Dock packages for Ubuntu (7 packages) but ported to Debian.
