Er. Sorry about all this :-) There was a combination of lack of motivation and being rather busy that kept me from doing anything at all about this. Jan did some work on this but now that I look at it, I think I have screwed up something when trying to sync up CVS and Arch (yeah, it's a bit painful.) For whatever reason, straw.desktop.in and po/Makefile, at least, aren't in CVS - I'm trying to resolve this now. -- [ Juri Pakaste | juri@iki.fi | http://www.iki.fi/juri/ ]
