Description Telsa Gwynne 2002-08-21 21:28:21 UTC 
Translation of a Heise review (cor) of Gnome 2, courtesy of jroger on
#gnome.

<jroger> See http://www.heise.de/ix/artikel/2002/09/078/bild1.jpg It's 
a picture of gconf-editor's warning dialog (in German). It's the second
screenshot on that page. The text next to it says:
<jroger> "Unfortunately no joke: A system tool that can damage the system
settings mustn't be in a final release."
<TD> yeah, I queried that earlier, it makes it sound like gconf-editor has 
corruption bugs
<luis> someone should bugzilla that to make it have a more useful/accurate
message.
<jroger> They point out though, that we don't have a registry but plain XML
files

Might want to reword it -- or ask the .de team to do so if the original
is softer? 

Tagging as GNOME2, but if it needs a string change in the
English then it will have to go to gnome-i18n or to 2.1.
Comment 1 Anders Carlsson 2002-08-22 04:25:45 UTC 
Yeah, I think rewording it to something like "be careful what you do
so you don't mess up your system" or something :)

Should I move this bug somewhere?
