I would like to have guile-gtk fully support the i18n features of
Gtk+, but I don't understand the issue at all.  Therefore, please
excuse the following questions:

Why do you have to call gtk_set_locale before gtk_init?  Is there a
good reason for this or can it be considered a bug in Gtk+?

What are the consequences of calling gtk_set_locale?  Are there good
reasons why anyone does _not_ want to call gtk_set_locale?  Why
doesn't gtk_init call gtk_set_locale itself?
