Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

When a user tries to use the "Share my desktop" option in Empathy, the user who is invited to see the desktop gets a message with the text "$user wants to share his desktop with you." Not all Empathy users are male, so the text should be gender neutral, something like "[y]ou have been invited to view $user's desktop."

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

Changed in empathy (Ubuntu):
assignee:	nobody → Desmond (des)
importance:	Undecided → Low
