Can you break the problem down into a small snippet of code that you
can post here on the list?

I don't think anyone on the list has the extra time cycles to dive
into your application and become familiar with it enough to start
trying to troubleshoot this problem.

Thanks,

I finally had a chance to try and reproduce in a simple example and found the cause :P
The problem isn't with gtk2::builder itself - rather the problem is that intltool doesn't grab the strings out of *.ui files (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/intltool/+bug/381347)

I've worked around by adding "[type: gettext/glade]" before each .ui file in POTFILES.in
Now I just hope that it didn't delete all the old translations in the process :P
