Glade textdomain oddness

[Jason Heeris <jason heeris gmail com>]

Hi,

(I apologise if you get this twice, but I sent a copy as a non-member
and gave up waiting for moderator approval.)

I think there's something wrong with my understanding of Glade
mechanics, so maybe someone here can help me out. I have the property
page test code below, (using Python bindings for Nautilus). When I run
it, under say Debian Squeeze or Ubuntu Karmic, with a non-English
language in use, some of Nautilus' special folders (Desktop, Network,
File System) suddenly get labelled in English.

If I comment out the line "gtk.glade.textdomain(APP_NAME)" in
"__init__", it doesn't happen. But why? All the PyGTK docs say is
"This gtk.glade.textdomain() function allows you to use
internationalisation with glade."

        label = gtk.Label("Test Page")
        label.show()

        page = gtk.Label("Rest of page...")
        page.show()

        ppage = nautilus.PropertyPage('SimpleTestPage',
            label,
            page)

        return [ppage]
