I have applied the patch, and the C part has survived. One thing it
might be useful to bear in mind is that the g_warning() calls probably
(on balance) shouldn't be translated. This is because they are not seen
by non-techie users, they are more or less for debug, and it becomes
more difficult to track them down in the source if they are translated.
And, of course, they increase the load on the translators.

Well, it only makes sense to do that for the benefit of xgettext - the
alternative would be to upgrade xgettext to swallow xml files with a set
of field names to look for code in. If I had been looking ahead to
translatability I might have done the former for pragmatic reasons. My
lookahead is a little, ahem, limited, rather like stdin :)
