Adding a gettext compatible lgettext() might be a good thing, as well as bindtextdomaincodeset() (which pygtk users certainly have missed already) but I have to admit this is not a bug fix per se.

Definitely -1 for 2.3.4.

Acknowledged. Will prepare a patch for the next major asap.

Sure, if that's what Barry agreed to.
