Description gerard 2004-03-30 00:31:29 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
OS:          Linux

1° This doc is written for kde 2.2. Needs update ++
2° Many messages are written in a strange english, which should proof-read by a native-speaking person.
A few examples (too many to list them all here):
Message 18
Each user will generally only use a single window manager or desktop 
environment, and does not change this choice very often, or is comfortable 
editing a single text file in order to change their choice.
Each...=>His choice (I think)

Message 74
In order to organize all of these options, this module is divided into five 
sections: <link 
linkend=\"kdmconfig-appearance\"><guilabel>Appearance</guilabel></link>, 
<link linkend=\"kdmconfig-font\"><guilabel>Font</guilabel></link>, <link 
linkend=\"kdmconfig-background\"><guilabel>Background</guilabel></link>, 
<link linkend=\"kdmconfig-sessions\"><guilabel>Sessions</guilabel></link>, 
<link linkend=\"kdmconfig-users\"><guilabel>Users</guilabel></link> and 
<link 
linkend=\"kdmconfig-convenience\"><guilabel>Convenience</guilabel></link>.
=>funny, I count six sections

Message 84
If you do not specify a logo the default 
<filename>$<envar>KDEDIR</envar>/share/apps/kdm/pics/kdelogo.xpm</filename> 
will be displayed.
=>needs a comma after "logo"
(lots of commas missing in the messages)

Message 85
 Use the 
<guilabel>Position</guilabel> options of you want it to appear elsewhere
=>if

I think lots of errors stay in the next messages, but I have not time to re-read it

Thanks for fixing

Gerard

All of these are fixed except the missing comma in message 85 (index.docbook:421)
Comment 2 Philip Rodrigues 2005-12-19 18:10:54 UTC
...and I have a pending patch that fixes that too. I'll close this when it's committed
