Personally, I'd rather wait until 2.10.1 considering how late it is
and the addition of the untranslated string to the UI.

As I side note, I really really hope we can get all that
startup-notification launching code into some common library; it's a
pain to see near verbatim code in gnome-desktop, nautilus, and now
epiphany, and to know that it'll probably spread to galeon, metacity,
libgnome and others soon if we don't get this straightened out.  (If I
would have had a little more time during this last release cycle, it
would be in libgnome and metacity already.)
