Apologies for the flood

Hi

Apologize for the flood of email.

Just got permissions to approve stuff on the mod-queue, so was
finishing off pending items there.

Regards
Akarsh
[Thanks Jason!]

SVN commit 906161 by asimha:

Backporting bug-fix for the FOV symbol editor. There is still an issue
which I will resolve shortly.

Original commit log:
=============================
SVN commit 903047 by asimha:

Fixing localization issues.

+ We want to use only the correct decimal symbol while formatting FOV
  sizes and avoid using the appropriate digit spacing.

+ The ok button refused to accept correctly localized strings and was
  looking for the standard '.' as the decimal symbol. Fixing that.

The FOV editor now generates, and accepts strings of the form "1000.0"
(where the . represents the appropriate decimal symbol in the locale)

This closes Bug #179034

SVN commit 906164 by asimha:

Fixing (further) problems with the FOV editor. The localized versions
would accept FOVs that were formatted in the localized format (60,00
in German, for instance) but wouldn't work. This was because the same
bug had to be fixed in two other places.

The FOV editor now seems to work correctly.

Fix trouble with links of translated planet names.

This is again, one more of those temporary translation fixes that we
are doing for KDE 4.2. Really, we should revamp the way translations
are handled. That'll fix a whole bunch of bugs.
