All the others GTK apps show correctly the Italian localization.

With this new version Gshardown fail to run.
I have a script wrapper under /usr/bin. This script run the main program under /usr/share/gsharkdown.

( #!/bin/bash

cd /usr/share/gsharkdown && ./gsharkdown.py )

The problem is that when i try to run Gshardown exit with this error

gsharkdown
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./gsharkdown.py", line 685, in <module>

local = open('%s/VERSION' % BASEPATH, 'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] File o directory non esistente: '/usr/share/gsharkdown/VERSION'

But it run correctly if i try to run it, inside the /usr/share/gshardown directory.

I will check this. The option to run the check for updates on application start was done very fast for the release, so I didn't checked everything as I should. Thanks for the report, but next time please use the Issue tracker @ bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/vkolev/gsharkdown/issues

I would say that grooveshark is blocking the application, I should check what was changed and try to fix it.

Download is now relocated to the download page, since the problem is that many users still download the old version, that doesn't have to option to check if new version is released
