'gxmessage' PET

I have compiled this in Wary and put it into the 'common' repo (10KB):
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/gxmessage-2.12.4-1-w5c.pet

The post-install script of this PET creates a symlink of 'xmessage' to 'gxmessage', thus overwriting any existing xmessage in /usr/bin.

I have modified all of the (x86) package lists in Woof to use gxmessage, as this is needed for internationalization. All (x86) builds should be able to use this PET.

Yes. It's good. I have tested new Racy. It's also good I think. I don't see big problems. I'm working on update for ru langpack. Will post it later. Boot messages are translated as well as desktop. In my first SSS translation of desk_strings I didn't notice quotes so after restart of X my desktop was a mess. But it woks OK with correct translation. MoManager starts poedit. It's also good. One small thing. I would like it to start not in LANG=C but in current locale.

[/code] A difference in speed is well known but this amount is drastic. More than 1 minute!

Re LANG=C
Username: BarryK
"Yeah, I have done timings before with and without LANG=C at start of script, big differences. There are some scripts where I have recently taken out the LANG=C, petget scripts for example, due to internationalization issues. I am going to look at those scripts again.
