Alright so Tom and I have talked, how about something like this:

"This will start the program '%s'. If you are unsure of the origin, click Cancel."

" (Details >>) --> would expand to name, Exec= line, perhaps the comment info" (or Details could be a underlined link with the same info)

This is significantly less text but I think it gets the same point across.
