Hi again Walter,

I have updated the window to enter password in mkusb like this:

when bad password mkusb-start changes title bar
'mkusb - password' --> 'password: try again!'

The zenity dialogue option --password does not offer many alternatives
to change its text, I think it would be harder to change other parts of
the text. Anyway, the new version is 10.4.6

Please ask your Google Code-In student to fetch the new version from

ppa:mkusb/unstable

and test it plus give some feedback.

Best regards
Nio
