  Bad string concatenation for l10n

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

  While translating ubuntuone-client for Mavercik, I found a strange
  string:

  Published at

  Looking at the code, looks like that string is constructed appending
  different strings together. This is the part of the code:

  question = g_string_append (question, "\t- ");
  question = g_string_append (question, key);
  question = g_string_append (question, _(" (Published at "));
  question = g_string_append (question, value);
  question = g_string_append (question, ")\n");

  I'm not a Glib expert, but isn't it possible to use
  g_string_append_printf() or g_string_append_vprintf() to construct at
  least the "Published at" part? There could be languages that need to
  change the position of "value" to render the string in their own
  language.

  Also, if possible, I would rather remove "padding" white spaces from a
  translatable string: by mistake somebody could take them out from the
  translation.

  Thanks.
