Re: String change in gnome-applets locations

["Francisco Javier F. Serrador" <franciscojavier fernandez serrador hispalinux es>]

OK. I like listening all of you. Menthos, I think you are right. I will
do the changes you are suggesting in a couple of days. Just wait until
February 1st. I will send that changes to the list and commit them a few
hours later, so everybody can have a look at them. 

I'd like to see al Spanish related names correctly spelt.

Cheers
