Issues on Mavericks (OSX 10.9)

[Andrius]

Recently I had I chance to test bf with virgin MacOSX 10.9
Mavericks on MBP with 13" screen (I mean bf was installed for a first time) and found several issues:
1.     The launch script does not work well - it does
not detect the locale correctly. It seems that Apple changed the way locale string is constructed, and now one can get locale string like en_LT and so on. So, gtk+ gives warning that correct locale is not found.
2.     When bf started for the first time, I tried to open file from Open File 
dialog, and dialog failed. The behavior was similar to described in bug #668022 - clicking on file selects file that is five rows below. I noticed, that dialog  window is extended to max window height (it should be like 80% from total height), but even then some of buttons does not fit (Open/Cancel buttons are not visible). Once I resize the
window it starts to work normally (and since MacOSX saves resized window size in Library/Preferences/ folder it is not possible to see this problem second time You start bf). I found workaround for this issue, which I will commit shortly.
I am just wondering if anyone else had this issue. Any comments?
In any case, I think it is worth to makeupdated version of 2.2.5 binary for MacOSX, since first impression about bf might be not so good for MacOSX users... What do You think?

we could also do a 2.2.6 release soon, there are a few more issues:

- chinese translation
- css syntax highlighting issue

quite possibly there will be a few more coming up. We could aim for
2.2.6 release in a month?

Olievier,
sorry for late reply, was quite busy fixing gtk+ bugs...
Now it seems done, so I have new build with some improvements:


Code update to r8257.

Improved language detection on Mavericks.

Restored smooth scrolling on MacOSX systems ( see bug #724559,  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724559 )
File chooser size now fits the screen when starting for the first time ( see also bug #724562,  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724562 )


Download is here:

New release would be really helpful, I hope we can do it soonish.

ok, let's call it 2.2.5-2 then, to indicate this is a second binary
package release.

it's on the download server, and linked from the wiki
