** Description changed:

  usb-creator-gtk 0.2.34, Ubuntu 11.10
  
  Perhaps it does not always appear, but sometimes a PolicyKit alert
  appears saying "System policy prevents installing the bootloader".
  
- You should never say "System policy prevents" something in an alert that
- exists solely to let you do that thing.
+ This is not about the alert appearing at all (bug 859539), it is about
+ the text. You should never say "System policy prevents" something in an
+ alert that exists solely to let you do that thing.
