Ah, it's for documentation I did not know.

It does now work.  I get something like:

Error:
ghelp:/opt/gnome/share/gnome/help/window-list/C/window-list.html:

Can't start process.  Can't make ioslave.
Klauncher answered unknown protocol: 'ghelp'.

Kon het volgende proces niet starten: Niet in staat io-slave aan te maken.
Klauncher antwoorde: Onbekend protocol: 'ghelp'.

Same with suse.  What's the gnome tool to browse the documentation?

Yes.  I have even build it with that.  In this case synaptic ends up 
in /opt/gnome/sbin.  As I launch synaptic often manually from the root 
command line I prefer to have synaptic  in /usr/sbin.  That's why I don't use 
"%define prefix /opt/gnome" ;)  Might change in the future of course.

Back to the locales.  At the moment I must install the locales 
in /usr/share/locales instead of /opt/gnome/share/locales as synaptic does 
not pick up the locales from the latter location.  This was reported by 
someone else.  I use the english variant myself I therefor don't notice the 
problem and I don't know how to test the locale settings as well.

I prefer to have the locales in /opt/gnome/share/locales as result of 
configure.  Can anyone enlighten me how I can make the system aware that the 
locales must be picked up from /opt/gnome/share/locales?  For the record 
other (gnome) applications are picking the locales 
from /opt/gnome/share/locales.  Is there some app to be run in the post part 
of the rpm installation?
