Bug Description
Binary package hint: sawfish
Some of the (german) texts are truncated in sawfish-ui;
it seems from the first non-ascii char on.
To reproduce:
Install Ubuntu with the german locale,
choose sawfish as the login session, login,
click the middle mouse button to open the main menu,
select "Anpassen", then "Tastenkombinat
a window opens and looks like in the attached screenshot.
The text "Modifikatortas
The complete text can be found in /usr/share/
and looks like this:
"Modifikatortas
More examples can be found in other parts of the GUI,
just choose another submenu under "Anpassen".

I have the exact same problem (in French, not in German).
The importance of this bug is marked as low, it is inapporpriate: the importance should be at least normal, because it makes sawfish-ui almost unusable in some cases. See the attached screenshot: several options appear exactly with the same label, so you just have to try blindly.
Note also that locales are not respected: I started the program by saying "env LC_ALL=C LANG=C sawfish-ui" and I still get some messages in French, not all of them. It seems some messages are provided by sawfish in the locale used when it was started, while others are provided by sawfish-ui.
