Bug Description
Binary package hint: migration-assistant
Currently when m-a appears, a user is given several apps from which he or she could import their "Documents and Settings" from. However, m-a doesn't tell the user what settings exactly will be imported - whether it be firefox bookmarks or evolution mail. The user may be shied away from importing their "Documents and Settings" because he or she may believe there will be configuration problems in the future - similar to a bad upgrade experience. Therefore, m-a should give a brief and detailed description of what settings or documents will be imported (preferably next to the item).

Thanks a lot for reporting this. It has been some time since the original report, and I was wondering if this problem was still affecting you.
