Ok. I've now tried to log bug reports for every module with plural
messages that's possibly affected, basically by searching for messages
using %d and %ld and then do further manual filtering from there.
However, as I'm not experienced in thinking in a different plural scheme
and how messages might be affected by that, there might of course be
modules and messages that I missed. And vice versa. Any help here in
finding further messages with plural problems is very welcome.

Here's the bug list:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106695
Please use ngettext for handling plurals in file-roller

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106696
Please use ngettext for handling plurals in gdm

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106697
Please use ngettext for handling plurals in gnome-games

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106698
Please use ngettext for handling plurals in gnome-panel

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106699
Please use ngettext for handling plurals in gnome-terminal

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106700
Please use ngettext for handling plurals in gnome-utils

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106701
Please use ngettext for handling plurals in libgtop

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106702
Please use ngettext for handling plurals in nautilus

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106703
Please use ngettext for handling plurals in nautilus-media

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106704

Would be nice if those could be fixed in the GNOME 2.3 cycle.
