Do a bugfix release for speling/grammar :-)
If you fix those messages, the translations for those messages will
break (be gone). So you could probably give a hint on this list if and
when messages are corrected.

I've noted those I found later in this letter.

Yes, then I got only myself to blame... :-)
Thanks! I've checked in an updated Swedish translation now, I'll be
sending it for review now, hopefully by tomorrow or the day after that I
will have answers and be able to correct the Swedish translation.

"Could not execute the configuration\n"
"program.  Make sure it's path is set\n"
"correctly in the configuration file.\n"
"I will attempt to start it from the\n"
"default location.  If I succeed, you\n"
"should fix your configuration."

Shouldn't that be "If I don't succeed..." ?

"the X configuration program.  And then restart GDM."

The last "And" seems unnecessary.
