For those of you who don't get it (not all of us know any french, right?): 
it's a completely benign message that becomes offensive when you *clip it*.

I should point out that while "conne" is offensive (well, to me it's just 
vulgar, but anyway), "connexion" isn't and just means connection.

The thing to fix is to make sure that the message box will resize properly. I 
presume that in most cases this behaviour is not readily reproduceable -- 
i.e. if your dpi/font set differ, you will most probably not get the dreaded 
"conne" word.

Recap: It isn't about messages, but about whether they are being inadvertently 
clipped.

Cheers, Kuba Ober
