leand
Package: gksu
Version: 1.2.5-1
Severity: minor

msgid ""
"The X authority file i am trying to create for the target user already"
"exists! This is highly suspicous!"

Using first person in messages is not recommended[1] according to debian
developer reference. (Please check other strings, also).




I also recommend avoiding exclamation-styleand usually "be as factual
as possible".

Something like "Impossible to create the Xauthority file: existing
file detected. Please investigate this problem which is usually rather
suspect."
