Description Pedro Miguel Marques Morais 2003-07-27 01:15:30 UTC 
This package is not Gnome HIG compliant in field labels. 
Field labels should be in sentence capitalization, not title capitalization. 
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/controls.html#controls-entry 
"Label the entry field with a text label above it or to its left, using sentence capitalization. " 
The KDE HIG also agrees with Gnome in this matter. 
Patch attached (against HEAD). 
Will generate 79 fuzzy messages, please apply as soon as possible.

Since I'm a kind of i18n guy, I've developed a script (still in tests!) that I used to this violations; 
the theory is that the original text as to be good so that it have a good translation. 
I would like to do the same for the rest of the redhat-config-* packages, but I filled this bug first 
just to see how you would react; should I continue this work?
