[sword-devel] Thai in Xiphos and BibleDesktop

I was able to fix the word wrap problem in BibleDesktop. It was a one  
line addition to set the drawing area to use the module's language  
code as the drawing area's locale.

It will be in the next release and the nightly builds. (Right now the  
nightly builds are broken and I am working on fixing that.)
