Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

The result of gnome-screensaver's "Leave a message" has multiple UI warts.

1) OK and Cancel buttons, which both simply dismiss the dialog.

2) No indication what the dialog is actually telling you. If the person leaving the message was not especially verbose, it's quite inexplicable why the dialog is appearing, unless you're already aware of the feature. It should begin the dialog with something along the lines of "At <TIME> a person left a message for you via the screensaver:".
