Dear Philip,
	So i18n in gcm can find the appropriate i18n locales even
though you have files such as
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/@GETTEXT_PACKAGE@.mo instead of
gcm.mo?

Yours sincerely,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau

PS: Have you corrected the clear clipboard bug yet? Do you have a
patch I can apply on 2.0.4 to fix it? Thanks.

Of course not, but here those files are installed correctly. So I cannot
reproduce this bug :-\

Can you please send me the version numbers of all the GNU devel tools
(eg. auto{conf,make}, gettext etc) that you've used to compile gcm at
your end?

Thanks,
Andrew
