    I really have to improve the autoconf detection :) I
    think that in latests snapshots things are getting
    better for those installing Xft2 and keeping their old
    Xft copy (ie, at least all those with a redhat 7.3)

    I've leaved 1402 open as I've not yet tested i18n
    stuff so extensively as I want to do. Once I test it
    I will close that bug. I've closed the two others.

    Ok, I will try to fix the gnome build, and I will
    leave the gnome-print part to you :) (I feel like
    cheating... the "gnome-print part" should be the most
    difficult part ;)
