I've update the libxfce4util po files a week ago and the license
changes were merged:
http://svn.xfce.org/index.cgi/xfce/libxfce4util/trunk/po/libxfce4util.pot?r1=28180&r2=29305

??? License is in libxfce4util....

Will bump this to 2009 and manually update the translations.

Actually, the code is: xfce_err ("%s%s", _("Unable to load "),
authors_filename);

So the po file is up2date, but the string is not translator
friendly... Won't be changed before the release.
