[Kst] [Bug 249805] New: UI usability: make some strings more user-friendly

[Barth Netterfield]

I think I like the new strings.

Related to this is another question that several other users have
asked me: why is the 'Create New...' widget even in the data manager
at all?

Would it be better to split the data manager and the data creator into
two dialogs?  Or is one, as now, just fine?

thoughts?
