Possible problem with .desktop files

Hi,

during the today Global Jam, we found a possible problem with .desktop
files in Karmic.

There are some files that have the correct X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain,
while others have the new upstream string X-GNOME-Fullname with the
list of translations.

The problem is that that string looks like is not handled by the
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain as are the Name and Comment ones, and
translations from .mo files are not read, using the X-GNOME-Fullname.
As an example you can see the rhythmbox.desktop file in
/usr/share/applications/.

Who should we contact for this?

Ciao.
