Translations

• Context refactoring. Old context strings (such as _(Context|String)) should be replaced with gettext C_() context macros. >Done revision 9722.

UI

• Extensions needs some consistency work (units, gnome HIG compliance...). >Fixed in revision 9754 (and some older ones...). (new group header parameter, boolean box and string are now the right order, fields don't resize vertically, etc.)
• Keys and mouse reference consistency check (Shift+Alt against Alt+Shift and other related things). >Fixed in revision 9723.
• Preferences dialog.
  • https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/560751, "Inconsistency in naming sections in preferences".

Vista testing

Note: Vista is far from being my favorite OS (my main one is Ubuntu), but having access to a Vista laptop is a good opportunity to test specific bugs...

• pdf import crashes in vista - https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/412609
