I'm not sure this is a good default behavior. If you want applications
to pop up under the cursor, there's a global setting in mosts WMs to
do this. I want our apps to work the same as all the rest apps on the
user's desktop.

I'm not sure I understand your workaround. The proper way to fix this
(if it is a missing translation) is to translate the message in the
.po file (http://trac.autopackage.org/browser/frontend/trunk/gtkfe/po/de.po)

If it is a bug, I'll look into it. (do you think you could file a bug
report on trac.autopackage.org on this? Component frontend.

Hmm, I've seen issues like this before. We do lots of weird
environment switches which could mean that LC_* information is lost. I
will need to try this at home... (If you want, you could file a bug
report which reduces the chance of me forgetting it)
