I've added in the corrections, I wondered if gnome might survive the
upgrade.

Understand about giving up on your DE as I was using xfce for a very
long time until recently but got fedup with how it looks and with dbus
so switched to openbox. It can be configured to be as versatile as a
desktop if not more, I wanted to add in a page about it but there's
already an excellent blog here which is worth a little time if you can
spare it: https://urukrama.wordpress.com/openbox-guide/

Sounds good, I'll make a list of completed stuff ready to be translated
shortly and mail you.
