Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: f-spot

f-spot 0.7.1-1, Ubuntu Maverick alpha 3

1. Trigger a serious error (e.g. bug 617399).

What you see: An error alert with "F-Spot Encountered a Fatal Error" as
its title, and "F-Spot Encountered a Fatal Error" as its primary text.

What you should see: An error alert that
* uses sentence case for its primary text
* does not repeat its primary text in its title
* does not use the word "fatal"
* is appropriately apologetic.

Perhaps something like, "Sorry, F-Spot experienced an error and will
close now."

** Affects: f-spot (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
