It differs from the one on head in that it doesn't change existing strings and only adds one string to the schema.in.in file. This is done by using long descriptions that duplicate the short descriptions.
Regarding the reuse of strings in schemas.in: If all you do is reuse a string that is identical to one already marked for translation elsewhere, then from the translator POV it's not a new string, since existing translations will be reused automatically. So those need not string freeze approval.
Good, that was my intention. :)
Regarding the new added string, "Show the \"Preview\" pane", I'd still like to know what the problem is that it fixes, and how important that fix is considered to be. If it's not terribly important, then it should probably only go into HEAD, but if it fixes some kind of problem that developers consider important to fix in GNOME 2.8, then it's a different thing. But I'd really like to know for sure (is there a bug report about the problem somewhere?) and some more details before deciding.
