Also, I don't understand what this will buy us. An app, such as a window manager, can be internationalized, but it might not be localized for the user's locale. IOW, it doesn't seem to me that a window manager is any more useful from a user's perspective if it is internationalized, if it doesn't have localization for this locale. Therefore, I am not sure that escalating the priority of i18n'ed window managers is really going to accomplish anything. Moreover, Debian doesn't have a default window manager, and may never. The point of these priority values is to "reward" the ones that are better integrated into our system. But there may be some aspects of i18n that I am missing here. Please take this opportunity to educate me on the subject. My mind can be changed. :) -- G.
