There is no technical problem at all;
all that is needed, is for users to have LANGUAGE="nb:no"
so that both "nb" and "no" translations will work (as there will be
a transition period when both will coexist; KDE could made them
all switch because it is a very centralized release process, but a
typical Gnome system is not, it is Gnome core plus a lot of more or less
independent programs that use gnome libs)

So, maybe the best thing to do will be to make gdm define such
LANGUAGE value when either nb_NO or no_NO locale is selected.

something like that:

for i in `find * -name no.po` 
do
mv $i `dirname $i`/nb.po
cvs delete $i
cvs add `dirname $i`/nb.po
done

for i in `find * configure.in`
do
rm -f tmfile
cat $i | \
	sed 's/\(ALL_LINGUAS=.*\)\<no\>\(.*\)/\1nb\2/' > tmpfile && \
	cat tmpfile > $i
done

cvs commit
