Uh, no thanks, in fact I'd like to get rid of the i18n framework we
currently have. Only deprecated functions use it right now. 

I think the right fix is for the GNOME and KDE's of the world to just
interpret the detailed exception name we throw (which is part of the
ABI).. and then provide the right message.
