Bug Description

If in gnome-system-montor 3.8.0 you want to Pause/Stop and resume a process the gksu dialog which pops up to ask the sudo password ask for the password to elimentate the process (which is confusing because the user might think that the process will be actually eliminated). This might be a translating issue (I'm using german desktop).
I'm using Ubuntu raring and experienced this behavior after the upgrade from 12.10 (which didn't have the nice feature to controll root processes).

Thanks for the heads-up, I did not know that text is used for stop an continue processes too, even if looking at it seems absolutely logic. Anyway, I have changed the wording from "kill process" to "control process" which is more generic and can involve continue, stop, kill process too (changed in upstream trunk).
