The bug report Jim filed states that the issue is now "resolved". 
Somebody mentioned there that with Gnome 2.23, there'd be a 
Locations.XX.xml file for each language... don't know if this helps 
much, but it seems to be an improvement (just the question when this 
update is going to hit Fedora - 2.24 should afaik out by the end of 
September). But definitely agreed! That's kind of... carzy for non-gnome 
spins, which just include NetworkManager-gnome. I also came across this 
PersonalCopy-Lite-patches package... fortunately, it's the lite version 
- it has a size of 44 MB and is a dependency of SDL_Mixer. Well, maybe 
not this right stuff for this thread, but still...
