 I wrote that message at 2:40 as headers say, I was lazy and sleepy to add a
comment to bugzilla that time. And I was partially hoping that Dmitry will
add that comment to bugzilla himself :) Yes, there is no point in this message
on this list. Should we add it to bugzilla?

 We are just got used to the extremely low quality of and motivation to
support for non-ascii in free programs. At least I think that developers who
can't think properly when they are programming (moreover, not in their free
time, but as a full-time Ximian employee) deserve such (and even stricter)
attitude from our side. People can't be *that* optimistic to have better
attitude to such developers.
 I only can feel shame for members of this list for not submitting bugreports
in time - but they seem to do their best at bugreporting.

PS: I adviced XImian to hire me to rule out all i18n-related questions at
Spring several times, publically on gnome-hackers and privately, and I said
that I will be able to do all the work in a month. They didn't consider it at
all. They definitely don't care about i18n - they care about en_US locale
only.

PS: Thanks for working on galeon development.
