[Bug 24804] Re: Gnome PalmOS limited charset support

[Fedor Isakov]

Ah, aparently I need to learn more about Debian/Ubuntu development
process. I found a Debian bug (almost 2 years old) that deals with this
issue. The maintainer, though, seems to be reluctant to force the patch
into Debian, the issue was forwarded to pilot-link developers. They are,
however, reluctant to fix it, too, for no aparent reason. Here are the
references.

http://bugs.pilot-link.org/1335

The original patch (not the one I referred to above) was submitted to a
mailing list 4 (four!) years ago. It's unbelievable such a small issue
takes forever to fix. Here is the original posting (in Russian):

I see that there's very little chance this ever gets fixed in pilot-link
head, but maybe it could be fixed in Debian version of the package?
