Well, I'll ask our trusted desktop guys today first, to see if they
think it's even an issue--maybe the context is sufficiently different
that they'll be fine with it the way it is.

If it's an issue for them, the best I can think of right now is maybe to
couch it in terms of "safety" instead of "trustworthiness", e.g.
something like:

        Unsafe application launcher
        
        The creator of "%s" did not mark it as safe to launch. Before
        continuing, you are advised to check that the launcher came from
        a reputable source.
        
        [Launch Anyway] [Mark as Safe] [Cancel]
        
Cheeri,
Calum.
