From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701 Description of problem: When you (as nonroot) attempt to renice a process using the gnome system monitor, and you are attempting to lower the nice number (i.e. raise the priority), and the process already had nice > 0, the message it gives you is incorrect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-system-monitor-2.0.4-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose a process with nice > 0. (I tested with nice = 19) 2. Click Edit -> Change Priority, and choose a lower priority, but still > 0. 3. Read the password prompt message. Actual Results: The password prompt informed me "You must be root to renice a process lower than 0". However, I wasn't attempting to renice it lower than 0, I was attempting to renice it from 19 to 10. Expected Results: Prompt should read "You must be root to lower the nice number of a process" or "You must be root to increase the priority of a process". Or, if the text is in fact correct, it shouldn't prompt you in the first place. Additional info:
Needs fixing on gnome.org level so it can be translated.
