Warning message in foreign language saying: "Dispositivos duplicados"

[Loe Spee]

After trying to write changes in the partition manager of Espresso I got a warning message in Espresso itself, not a dialog, which is wrong for starters.
Second the warning message says something in a foreign language (I think Spanish), while my system language was English. The message says: "Dispositivos duplicados".

Using:
Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake Flight 5

there have been lots of changes in espresso since flight 5, could you possibly check if this is still there in flight 6.

You Ubuntites are fast. I completely missed Flight 6.
Thanks for mentioning, I am downloading the ISO at the moment and will test this this evening or tomorrow.

It's not at all clear to me that this is "wrong". It's actually somewhat
intentional.

As Sam says, this is fixed in Flight CD 6.

Well, it is not very clear a message has been raised, because the upper section of the screen remains the same and a user might confuse it like "oh seen that already, what has happened?".
A popup dialog for warning and errors is always better in my opinion, except when they are hindering the users interaction, like a 404 error in a webbrowser.

I will have a look one of these days what the Gnome HIG has to say about this.
