Error message standards

[Alan Shutko <ats acm org>]

I just got a message from the Gnome Run dialog, and it was jarring.  I
think computing would be a happier place if all our error messages
were haiku.

Imagine how much less stress you would feel if instead of the gnome
segv dialog, you saw:

    Three things are certain:
    Death, taxes, and lost data.
    Guess which has occurred.
