There has been an unannounced string freeze breakage in the string
frozen gnome-applets gnome-2-10 branch.

It is this added message:

        #: gweather/gweather-pref.c:361
        msgid ""
        "Failed to load the Locations XML database.  Please report this as a 
bug."

        
The relevant part of the ChangeLog seems to be this one:

        2005-03-30  Ryan Lortie  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        ** MERGE CHANGES FROM HEAD **

        * gweather-pref.c: Add an error dialog asking the user to file a
        bug in the case of an Locations.xml parse error.

(http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-applets/gweather/gweather-pref.c?r1=1.88&r2=1.88.2.1)


No warning had been given in advance for this addition. GNOME is in
string freeze, which means that prior announcement and approval of
string changes and string additions is needed, as described on
http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/tasks.html#ApprovingFreezeBreaks.

I suggest that this change should be reverted from the string frozen
branch. If people disagree with that, then I would like to hear some
motivation on why this change is considered important enough to break
the freeze and why it cannot wait until the next development cycle.
