Summary:  mlDonkey GUI LabGTK locale 

Original Submission:  Hi there

   Thanks for mlDonkey, it is much better then the eDonkey client.  I run in to 
a minor bug/problem.  the GUI is not able  to encode my locale.  I think it is 
most likely LabGTK related. So I head to LabGTK and find out LablGTK will not 
call setlocale automatically anymore. 

"Locale or not locale ?
  Until version 1.2.0, lablgtk called setlocale automatically on
  intitialization. Unfortunately, this appears to have side effects
  in some cases, paritcularly when the locale defines a numeric
  format different from the standard one.
  Since locale must be set before initialization, you may do it in two
  ways:
    * set the GTK_SETLOCALE environment variable to a non-0 value
    * use the ~setlocale parameter to GMain.Main.init (if you do not link
      gtkInit.cmo)
  Note that GTK_SETLOCALE, when set, overrides ~setlocale.
  On some systems you may also need to link libxpg4.so for the locale to
  work."

Do you think you can relase the GUI source for 1.16 or Do a quick fix ?

thanks for your program again.
