Yes. I reworded the string to "Clicking on the status icon marks the
most likely action". This one is better?

Nearly completely rewritten in the trunk branch. The current/old
introduction was just a quick adjustment to the new gui.

Removed the string.

Changed in the trunk branch.

Funnily, we already changed this yesterday in the trunk branch.

The whole status string should be moved to plural gettext and "0 to ..."
messages should be hidden, too. It is already on Michael's TODO list.

Thanks, changed in the trunk branch.

Added to the trunk branch.

Thank you very much for your work on the Catalan translation and your
