Thanks a lot. The last big issue I have is with the gnomecanvas. I got a
binary version that works fine but searches a fixed path library
(intl.dll). This lib comes with gtk runtime. 
I need to compile it again and hopefully it will work.
As soon as I get this, I'll find a way to get the source code to you.

Nice idea. Not sure it works in other country. In France I never saw
this happen.

I really prefer to use the number of activity rather than the locale.
