Subject:    KDE_3_4_BRANCH: new translatable string?

In kdepim/kalarm, I want to introduce a new error message string. In KAlarm's 
Preferences dialog, there is currently an option to enter a command line to 
invoke a terminal window. This command is then used whenever a command alarm 
is executed, so as to display its execution in a terminal window. If the 
command doesn't work, the alarm silently fails to execute. There was 
previously no validation on what is entered in the Preferences dialog, and 
partly in response to a user's request, I think that there should be a 
warning message displayed if the entered command is unusable due to the 
program not existing on the system. Is it permissible to add such an error 
message into KDE 3.4 branch?

The proposed error message is "Command to invoke terminal window not found:
\n%1" (where %1 is replaced by the program name entered), and offers the user 
the option to continue or cancel.

Can I add this string, or do I need to continue failing without an error being 
displayed?

Cheers,
David Jarvie.
KAlarm author.
