So, I've decided that I just can't write error dialogs. Can someone write reasonable text for the error dialog in: src/extension/error-file.cpp. It should just tell the user that some extensions failed, and check the error log. I couldn't come up with anything that sounded good, so I just put some placeholder text in.
If you are really stuck this might help give you some ideas http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/windows.html#alerts-error
I suppose brevity is the best bet when it comes to error messages.
Unable to load extension [possibly specify the name of the extension here]
Check the error log for more details [provide the location of the error log here, and or a very brief suggestion as to how the user might fix the problem] [ OK ]
