Bug Description
The dialog which asks whether an application should be granted access to the
keyring could be improved with a couple of minor changes:
1. The button which is currently labeled 'Deny' should be relabeled 'Don't
Allow'. The dominant verb in this dialog is 'Allow', and 'Allow' appears in the
labels of both of the other buttons, so for consistency's sake it should appear
here as well.
2. Currently the full path of the application which is requesting access is
displayed in the dialog text, e.g., "The application 'File Manager'
(/usr/bin/nautilus) wants to access..." This is unnecessary and may prove
confusing to users who will, at most, only be interested in the name of the
application which is attempting to access the keyring. So the path should not be
displayed in this dialog.
