the documentation to gtk_get_default_language() seems to be wrong. It
states that it would return an ISO language code and that the result
should be freed. Truth is that it returns a PangoLanuage (and noone is
supposed to know that this is just an ISO language code at the moment)
and a PangoLanguage should definitely not be freed.

you didn't yet comment on my patch for this problem. Since GIMP-1.3.12
uses the spacing attribute, I expect to get bug-reports about it soon.
