baffling string in schemas.in.h: Support skey dingus clicking
Last modified: 2005-09-19 09:31:44 UTC
#: src/gnome-terminal.schemas.in.h:108 msgid "Support skey dingus clicking" And the associated long description. These make no sense to people who do not know what "dingus-clicking" (I think this is not HIG-approved) or skey are. In English, let alone in other languages :) Suggest changing it in gnome-2.7 to something more clear. Options include: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2004-March/msg00195.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2004-March/msg00192.html (right at the bottom, long mail, sorry) Failing that, comment by the code (can you do this in .h files or only in .c files?) to effect that "skey is an application name" "dingus-clicking is slang for control-click-on-URL" or something.
Does this sound more reasonable?
