> Hello Linas,
> 
> I'm now using GnuCash 1.4.1 on a SuSE Linux 6.1 system for about 2 weeks
> and want to make some remarks:
> 
> 1. When I started GnuCash in german language, the Report submenu didn't
> appear. I changed the word "_Reports" to "_Berichte" in report.scm and
> then it worked (but only in german language!).
> 
> 2. The display in the report window looks quite strange. All tables are
> much wider than they should be. The reports are readable only when I
> export them to HTML and watch them with an external Browser.
> 
> 3. The list of recently used files doesn't appear when language is set
> to german.
> 
> 4. The currency used in the status bar at the bottom seems to be
> influenced only by the language setting. I'm using EUR but the status
> bar always says DM.
> 
> 5. For european users it would be nice to have a source for prices of
> mutual funds in EUR. For stocks Yahoo Europe works just fine.

> My environment includes:
> gnlibs-1.0.8-4
> gnlibsd-1.0.8-4
> glib-1.2.6
> gtk+-1.2.6
> libxml-1.0.0-12
> libxmld-1.0.0-12
> 
> But anyway, I like GnuCash very much! It's one more step in getting rid
> of my Win partition ;-)
