[Bug 483108] [NEW] ccsm: uninformative plugin keybinding conflict dialog

[Jonas Kölker]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compizconfig-settings-manager

In ccsm, if two compiz plugins have conflicting keybindings, you are
faced with the following dialog:

"Some  bindings of Plugin Static Application Switcher conflict with
other plugins. Do you want to resolve these conflicts?

[Do the right thing: nothing] [Do something arbitrary and unknown to my
configuration which I haven't backed up]"

(I have paraphrased the text on the buttons).  Which bindings?  Which
other plugins?  I think that would be a useful thing to know, so I think
the dialog should contain that information.

Also, yes, I want the conflicts resolved, but I don't trust a button
that essentially says "fix things" to know which resolution I like.  It
would be really great if I a bit of text was added so I'd have more than
a snowball's chance in hell of knowing what "resolve these conflicts"
will do---in operational terms! (i.e. what can I observe having changed
when ccsm is done resolving conflicts?)

Also, there are two spaces in "Some  bindings [...]", and it might sound
more natural to say "[...] bindings of the ${NAME} plugin" than "of
plugin ${NAME}".

(I'm on jaunty, using cc-s-m version 0.8.2-0ubuntu1)
