I would remove the call to setlocale, since this will probably by done 
by the application (or by gtk_init).

Remove the call to textdomain -- the application will call that for its 
own domain.  Instead of using gettext, use dgettext (or g_dgettext), and 
pass the libraries' domain as the first parameter.
