I'm a usability enthusiast and an Ubuntu user at the same time. When I
read "click to make changes", I didn't know what it meant. Having text
placed like that never seemed to be a convention. Also, even if it was a
convention, it's hard to interpret for first time users.

There's "Help," Lock Icon, "Click to make changes," and "Close." All of
them are buttons except the  "Click to make changes" text. What makes me
assume that the text is supposed to be associated to one of those
buttons and the one it is associated with is the one on the left? For
me, it's the metaphor that the icon represents. It took too much
analysis and I'm more savvy than the typical user.

What I suggest now is simply have a button with the text "Make Changes"
or something more fit if we can think of one.
