	When things like this are broken, people tend to check
.xsession-errors. In my opinion, having this error message untranslated
in .xsession-errors is probably more acceptable than breaking the string
freeze.

	I could get into a discussion about whether error dialogs like this are
a good idea at all, but not right now. The issue is whether we should
break the string freeze at all.

Cheers,
Mark.
