I'm not entirely happy with the new description for Update Notifier: "Check for available updates automatically". The wording is somewhat verbose (why would it check for unavailable updates, and how? Why is this "automatically"? I think I kind of know why you put it there, but is it really necessary?) but above all, if you don't know what sorts of updates, how would you find out? Both of the proposals above are IMHO more informative.

Although I criticize the details of his wording, I think Michael Vogt's proposal captures the essence of the discussion so far; describe what functionality will stop working if you uncheck it. After all, that's what this dialog box is meant for. Hence, perhaps Bluetooth Manager could be something like "Discover Bluetooth devices within range" and Network Manager perhaps something along the lines of "Discover and connect to networks" (by implication, Internet connections; perhaps that could somehow be worked into the description still). -- Poor descriptions for some applications in Startup Programs window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
