Bug Description
The message dialog that pops up when trying to share a folder within nautilus is
quite scary for un-technical users - NFS and Samba are meaningless words for the
average user. The dialog needs to give the user an indication of how to achieve
their goal - that is, sharing a folder. The dialog needs either a brief
description of what to do (System-
install the 'XYZ' package) or have a 'help' button that links to documentation
specifying how to install samba, nfs etc. and how to set them up.
At the very minimum, an brief indication of how to install Samba/NFS should be
given, and the 'The tool will now close' sentence should be removed (it is too
non-specific - what is 'The tool'?)
