After installing w/U.S. English localization, "minimise" instead of "minimize" appears in parts of GNOME

What's your locale (you can enter "locale" in a gnome-terminal to get it) ?

If you are using the en_GB one, apparently that's a translation problem.
libwnck use "maximize" and metacity "maximise" ...

I am using en_US, and I see minimise on the taskbar and minimize (which is
correct for the US) when right-clicking on a program's title bar.

The different spellings (minimize and minimise) should be changed to the same
spelling, unless there is going to be an
option for U.S. English/British English.

this bug is fixed in hoary, I'm closing it.

This bug appears to have resurfaced - if I right click on a title bar it says
"Minimize", but if I right click on a minimized application
in the taskbar, it says "minimize".

what is wrong is that ? "minimize" is not correct for an en_US locale ?
.

no - I meant to say that if you right click on an application taskbar button, on
a U.S. English install, it says "Minimise".

I've tried with "American English" in the gdm menu, I get the correct string
here. Do you have it wrong with this choice ?

I tried w/American English on the gdm menu, and it also worked for me.
However, if you install, pick American English, and log in to thatinstall
without selecting a language, you get the British spelling when you
right click the taskbar.

P.S. I noticed a lot of entries that just said English (UTF-8) - could those be
cleaned up?

what the output of "locale | zenity --text-info" in the alt-f2 dialog ?
