Re: [Nautilus-list] reset.png

[Christian Rose <menthos menthos com>]

The reset.png also has localization problems, at least if it's the same
reset.png as in Nautilus.
The text "reset" in English needs translation, but manual "translation"
of images is something I think we'd rather avoid - it takes graphic
skills, correct fonts, etc etc, and I think that it's not doable for 40
locales.

So I think the localization problem should be solved before using the
reset.png, IMHO.
