Not yet, I'd like to see how it works for others first. Then, let's
close it after 4.0PRE4

Yep, I also observ that from time to time. We could add a bad workaround
by binding the key F5 to refresh (or another) ?

Yes, I did the same. To fix that quick, I open the .po in emacs or any
editor, size the window width to a one line 'regular' width.
Then scroll and split all the lines that wraps.
BTW, emacs insert a \n when you put the translation on 2 lines.
I just added this explain this in the CPS FAQ.

This should be investigated. Any taker. I update the TODO list to
something related:
* Dynamic screen resolution change (using Xrender)
* Remove the Gnome dependancy to use GTK only. The gnomecanvas itself do
  not require gnome. Less dependancy less install issues. Also could
  make porting easier.
