Can we assume that this bug exists specifically with reference to Gnome 
>= 2.20
as pointed out in 391137@bugs.debian.org
Is this simply a problem with the Debian versions or would it require 
intervention from upstream?
Are we getting so many problems with Audacity because it is not 
specifically written for GNU/Linux systems?

This appears to be also related to problems with transliteration in 
Audacity wrt swedish. I'll have to find a ref for that.

I'm just trying to understand the issues at present.
