Please let me kindly point Evolution hackers to a bug (well, remind them)
that keeps Turkish and Azeri users  that is 90 million potential users 
from using Nautilus in their locale.

The bug is http://bugs.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=51447 and contains 
lots of
comments which could help solve the problem. In short the problem is
that Evolution uses a locale dependent to check a case insensitive keyword;
but keywords are non case insensitive in a local sense, but in an 
*ascii* sense.
g_ascii_strcasecmp() must be used; *NEVER* strcasecmp() or 
g_utf8_strcasecmp().

Alco CC'ing evolution-hackers@ximian.com list. Please keep me in CC I am 
not subscribed.

Sorry for polluting the DD list anyway.

Keep the great work!
