Bug Description

Binary package hint: coreutils

go to terminal and run df -h when the system language is set to french (possibly the same problem occurs in other languages). the column headings are too far to the right so they do not match up to the columns they are intended to correspond to.

it appears that the number of spaces to the right of each heading does not adjust itself to account for the different length of the headings (since french uses more letters to write the same thing)
