Cool.
one little thing: could you use the new icon for the feed? It is
already included in the 0.12 sources.

In Geany, most paths are hardcoded with full pathname of the
install prefix at configure time. That means, if you configure Geany
normally, the compiled binary will look for language files
at /usr/local/share/locale/... But if you package the installed files
and then an user installs them via zeroinstall, this path is (probably)
not correct anymore. So, Geany won't find the language files. And this
happens not only to the language file but also for filetype definition
files(in /usr/local/share/geany) and other stuff.
The solution is to add binary relocation support to Geany which I'll do
now(read: the next days). This is what Inkscape already does and
therefore it works.

Enrico
