First of all thanks for your great work Peebee!

I installed it_IT langpack, there's a couple of missing menu entries translations: "Run" and "Leave", so the Puppy Log Out window and the upper menu bar tooltips.

Is there an easy way to fix them?

Thanks in advance

It seems all ok now, it also boots correctly (no hangs)...
