GNOME 2.26 Showstopper Review

[Andre Klapper <ak-47 gmx net>]

(Better late than never.)

Take a look, test & help out, comment if there's important bugs that are
not listed here, make 2.26 rock.


================================================
EVOLUTION
================================================
Camel Disk summary meta bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543389
Summary says it all. (And I personally hope that Evolution 2.26.0 will
become the stable version that 2.24.0 was supposed to be.)

================================================
GNOME-DOC-UTILS
================================================
Bidirational problems in xsl
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563559
Should be fixed as per comment 15, but testing would be very welcome!

================================================
GNOME-PYTHON
================================================
Convert from popt to GOption
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507174
Still the very last module to get rid of popt. Patch available, but
needs more work.

================================================
GNOME-SESSION
================================================
gnome-session doesn't save session anymore
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552387
A famous bug, but my secret webcam shows that Lucas is working on this.

================================================
GNOME-SYSTEM-TOOLS
================================================
no i18n of .policy files
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528015
Big i18n issue, and patch available awaiting review.

================================================
GTK+
================================================
gtk-builder-convert creates untranslated combobox models
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553385
Patch needs rework. Volunteers highly welcome.

================================================
NAUTILUS
================================================
untranslatable ordinal numbers in nautilus-file-operations.c
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325284
Should be easy to fix after the latest discussion in the report.

================================================
POLICYKIT-GNOME
================================================
Some strings doesn't work properly with translations
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549411
Trivial patch still awaiting review from the maintainers.

================================================
