It would help a lot to keep consistence in gtk applications, and moreover, it would help a lot if these messages/strings are carefully elaborated to be usefull for users -- many times developers write messages that are absolutely useless for users, because 0) users can not understand them and 1) the messages doesn't suggest them how to go over the problem, if any.
