[Bug 804896] Re: gnome-settings-daemon assert failure: gnome-settings-daemon: ../../src/xcb_io.c:140: dequeue_pending_request: Assertion `req == dpy-xcb-pending_requests' failed.

[gib]

I saw a similar message from 11.10 beta1 from a 9/2/2011 download. This
was a fresh install from a CD iso after the first boot. The message
looked something like this: Sorry, the system program gnome-settings-
daemon crashed . . .

[Bug 15495] Re: Archive Manager doesn't mean anything if you don't know what an archive is

[gib]

** Description changed:

  A new user thinks I need to create a zip file, and doesn't know how to do 
it.
  If you don't know that a zip file is an archive, which many new users do 
not,
  then it's very difficult to tell how to create one. Create archive on the
  Nautilus context menu, Archive Manager in the Applications menu, etc, are 
all
  meaningless. (This happened to me today when someone I know rang me for
  technical support to ask how to create a zip file, and when I explained how, 
he
  said what's an archive?)
  
  Suggested fixes (to be taken with a very large pinch of salt and replaced with
  better suggestions):
  Change Create archive to Create compressed file on the context menu
  Change Archive Manager to Compressed Files on the Applications menu (with
  tooltip Create and edit compressed files)
  
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300655:
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300655
+ 
+ Then won't you get questions like: What's a compressed file?  Perhaps
+ some other wording may help such as: Create a safe copy of a file.
