The patch seems nice if we are willing to go back to what I suggested on the
original post in this thread, which is allowing translators to insert newlines
when they believe it's adequate. Anyway, we would still need the label to be
justified center, otherwise translators would have to guess, by trial and error,
how much white space should be inserted after the newline so that it looks
centered. Of course this guess would be suboptimal, since it depends on the font
settings. In resume, it would be a real "hack", but this time in the PO files ;)

A quick glance at the xfce-mcs-manager plugins suggests that at least the
following other plugins would need context translation, i.e. the plugin's label
text is used also somewhere else:

Desktop
Mouse
Sound
Preferred Applications
Sessions and Startup
Window Manager
Workspaces and Margins

Adriano
