Description Frederik Himpe 2009-01-12 15:25:56 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When desktop settings cannot be activated in System Settings, a warning window pops up with a message informing the user of this failure.

The window is not large enough to show the whole message, and in the middle of the sentence, ellipsis (...) is used. This looks extremely bad and unuserfriendly. The paragraphs which are too long, should be nicely wrapped to the next line instead of being cut off by an ellipsis.
