  I'm not comfortable with the string "Missing". It's a developer-centric string \
that's not user-friendly, and it doesn't help the user figure out what's wrong or \
whose fault it might be. We'd get bug reports over this; people would say, "If it's \
missing, KDE should provide it!!!" And we'd reply, "It's missing from the app, not \
from us," and this would happen  a dozen times.  
  How about instead, "Not provided by <application>". That would convey the same \
point, but provide a hint that it's the app's fault, not ours.
