Packages updates and i18n

[Olivier Fourdan]

Hola Edscott,

Well actually, it's not your keyboard, but your text editor....

If you have gedit2 from gnome2, you may prefer to use it, it uses utf8
natively - Oh, I just realize, nestu is working on xfwm4 spanish
translation right now...

Cheers,
Olivier.
