Does the text in gui dialogs still line up properly?  It looks like you only
changed the gtk client.

Gold was chosen originally because it is a short word, so it doesn't take much
space on the screen.  If you stick a big word in there, stuff won't fit where
it did before.

I also don't see how plurals are handled.  "Treasury contains 10 dollar" That
just sounds stupid.  

Before...

Gold:    20 (+10)
Luxury:   1
Science: 10

After...

GB Pound:    10 (+10)
Luxury:   1
Science: 10

Looks at lot worse to me.
