Ok, based on this list I have moved the following modules in the GNOME
2.14 translation status from the "proposed" section to the "desktop"
section:

deskbar-applet
fast-user-switch-applet
gnome-screensaver
pessulus
sabayon

Based on the same information, I have moved the following modules from
"proposed" to "extras":

gnome-power-manager

I could find no information about the following perviously proposed
modules, but I assume that they will not be included, and as a
consequence I have moved them from "proposed" to "extras":

atomix
nautilus-actions

Please let me know if something in the above was not the right thing
to assume or to do.
