FYI

Regarding message strings, as per KDE guidelines, we should not use
abbreviated forms, like it's, hasn't, and so on.
Also, we should not use exclamation marks for messages, like in
warning messages or similar.

Regards,
Alvaro

SVN commit 1053018 by coles:

Proof-reading: clarified message and eliminated it's (which should be
