[Bug 45913] g-p's use of gettext uses more memory that needed

[Ben Maurer]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

gnome-panel loads about 1.2 MB of RSS via .mo files for the purpose of
localizing menu names:

bmaurer at broomstick:~$ ./smem.pl `pidof gnome-panel` | grep langpack | awk '{ sum += $3 } END {print sum}'
1196

While this memory is in theory shared (it's not private memory), for
most of the .mo files, g-p is the only consumer of the file. This causes
extra disk access during boot, and also consumes excess memory.

** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
