Ok, we try to do our best to have the most visible parts of Ubuntu (and 
derivatives) translated in French and maybe I'm wrong about the strings 
changes in kubuntu slide show (but it seems to me that this occurred at the 
same time...)
Sorry for my previous message, but last minutes changes always makes me a 
bit nervous ;-)

Anyway, we have some great contributors in our team and ubuntu slideshow is 
already fully translated. :)
