So, me and Christian put on our management hats for a second this
morning and decided that we are going to put the .schemas files on the
2.2 track. The reason for this is that the amount of strings is huge and
also most of the strings have never been anywhere near an audit.

So, we thought it would be better if we set up some kind of "ui-review"
of the .schemas files for 2.2 and start putting patches in bugzilla for
these cleanups ASAP.

Other than that I have two outstanding i18n issues for 2.0.1.

- intltool not being able to extract strings marked with L_(). One good
examle is from libgnomeui/gnome-app-helper.c where "Contents" is not
ending up in the .pot file. This leads to "Help->Contents" not being
translated.

(Can't find the bug number now since bugzilla seems to be down)

- gnome-control-center's mime-type-capplet has a lot of untranslated
strings in the Category list. I've talked to Jody about this some time
ago and he said it would be fixed, but I'm not sure that is the case
just yet.
