Description of problem:
system-config-services has a menu option for adding a new services under "Actions - Add Service".  If you give it the name of a service that does not exist on the system (for example, because it is not installed), you get a strange-looking warning box that has no text.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-services-0.8.25-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start system-config-services
2. Select Action - Add Service.  This displays an "Add Service" dialog box.
3. Enter "nonexistent" in the "Service Name" field and press OK.


Actual Results:  A strange looking warning box is displayed.  This box has no text in it.

Expected Results:  An informative warning box is displayed that says something like:

  The service could not be added because it is not installed.

Or:

  The service could not be added because it could not be found.


Additional info:

I encountered this when attempted to add a cvs pserver to my system.  My system did not have xinetd installed, and I attempted to add it as a service.  I saw the warning box, and knew *something* was wrong (which is good), but I wasn't sure exactly what went wrong (which is room for improvement).  Eventually, I figured out that I didn't have xindetd's RPM installed, even though I had /etc/xinetd.d/cvs.  A more informative error message may helped me figure out my problem sooner (but we're only talking about fifteen minutes of head-scratching).

I have given this a severity of "low" instead of "feature enhancement" because this feels like a bug, not a feature that was cut.
