         Hello friends,

  I want to tell that many strings in PO's are 
too technical strings:

From kcmbackground.pot:
"Checking this box lets KDE to use shared memory for image to pixmap 
conversions."
 
  Beside the fact that joe average user don't know even 
what shared memory is, he will must cope with the idea 
that image is transformed in pixmap. 

  There are many places where such strings occur. E.g.
"KBlabla::init()  died in foobar!". There exist KDebug 
to report errors, especially fatal ones. I think a number 
should be assigned. E.g. 
   "KSuperApp Error code: 12345"
   "Please report it to author!"

Will be nice to have even a class i.e. KAppError that 
a developer can use non-fatal error. It's nice to be
like dr.Konqi window and to be able to report to author
(hey!, not bugtraking system because many developers can't
or don't bother register their app in  bugs.kde.org) 
by using email address from KAboutData object.


kind regards,
