Comment 4 for bug 486133

 I am scared to use the application at all because I literally have no idea what it will do.

The list of applications selected by ticks suggests that when I click the "perform selected tasks" button the applications selected will be removed. They are SELECTED. "Perform selected tasks" suggests that something will be done to the selected stuff - i.e. it will be removed.

But when I go to deselect an application from the list (because some of the stuff on it is stuff I installed manually that I want to keep), I am asked to authenticate with the message "Removing Unused Packages Requires Authentication". This immediately confuses me. Indeed the wording suggests that DESELECTING an application will remove it.

At this point I honestly have no idea (I'm not bullshitting you here - I literally cannot decide) whether it is the selected or delected applications that will be removed were I to click on the "Perform Selected Tasks" button. I reckon I have about a 50% chance of having it do the exact opposite of what I intend. And I'm not a computer illiterate.

Not liking those odds I decided the safest thing to do was close the Janitor and not use it. And seek help of course from ...

The problem is very real. From my point of view this application is completely ambiguous.
