Re: Bug in i18n of GConf?

[Fernando Herrera <fherrera onirica com>]

	Yes, this is a known bug:

	http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152175

	It happens only in some situations when intltool-merge modifies the
order of locales in the final .schema file IIRC. Tha attached patch in that
bug should fix it.
