hard code freeze break request for eog



Hi, 

There's a bug in the Eye of GNOME since the gio migration that won't
allow a user to set an image as the background wallpaper[1]. Even worse,
a user setting the wallpaper will get an ugly plain color as
background...

We have a patch to fix that[2], but unfortunately we didn't manage to
review this in time before code freeze. Even worse, there are two
strings that need to be added in order to fully fix this:

- "Only local images can be used as wallpapers"
- "To be able to set this image as your wallpaper, please save it
locally in your computer"

These strings will only be shown when a user tries to set as wallpaper
an image that is not locally in the computer, but the patch is required
also for local images.

The Eye of GNOME team, therefore, requests to break all possible
freezes, and in return, we compromise to:

1. Translate these strings to es, de, and pt_BR ourselves.
2. Get a really kicking ass image viewer for the next releases,
3. Buy Vincent some icecream in next guadec
