glib2.0/debian/patches/01_gettext-desktopfiles.patch

Subject: [PATCH] Call gettext if .desktop file does not have inline
 translations

Patch from OpenSUSE via Ubuntu, original author unknown. Martin Pitt and
Vincent Untz appear to be the main authors.

Reworked slightly by Philip Withnall to avoid exposing new public API
for the non-standard keys.

Bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=569829
Bug-Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/bugs/3935
Applied-upstream: no, rejected because "this will be solved soon" (in 2013)
