Xfce Settings Manager Windows - Mangled icon titles?

I've just noticed that when I open the Settings Manager window, that some of the icons are labelled "Button Label|Desktop", "Button Label|Display", etc.  It seems the first 10 have "Button Label|" in front of the titles.

I don't recall noticing this before. I am wondering if some recent Ubuntu update caused this. (I'm using 6.06.)

Does anyone else have this issue?

Also: when I click on an icon in the Settings Manager window to open an applet, a thin black frame remains around the icon when I close the applet, even when another icon is highlighted.

Hi,

I'm running Xubuntu on my laptop (english language selected during install) and on a desktop (english too), and only the laptop has this bug!  :?

I solved replacing the wrong strings inside the .mo files:

cd /usr/share/locale-langpack
for i in `grep -R -l "Button Label|" *`; do sudo sed -i "s/Button Label|//g" $i; done

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Gabriele

The settings manager is fixed. But now the menu is garbled. Rather than an "Other" top-level category, it says "kspace %d <", which contains another menu "b >" which contains what was once in the "Other" category.

Is there a way to rebuild the menu?

Upgrading to 4.4 RC1 fixed this problem briefly.

Then after restarting, it's back.

I've upgraded to Ubuntu Edgy and the problem has returned, but there's nothing in /usr/share/local-langpack that has those strings.  Could the files used by Edgy be located somewhere else?
