Comment 0 for bug 389035

During last Ubuntu upgrade (from Intrepid to Jaunty), I faced quite a strange dialog, that asked me what to do regarding either the menu.lst or xorg.conf file (not sure...), and that proposed me several actions in a drop down menu. Actions that were possible were something like "Compare files", "Compare side by side", "Keep current", etc.

Some of the actions possible where not running ok (If my memory does not fail, I think "compare side by side" did not run ok), and the other comparison tool was pretty useless for a non-geek (differences and similarities were displayed with @ & + characters at the beginning of the line...

This kind of dialog is terrific, for "lambda users", who have no chance to :
- figure out why the system asks something (most "normal" people don't know what "menu.lst" or "xorg.conf" are...)
- get good clues about which choice to make

I know this is not precise enough to be a good bug report, but I did not save snapshots of this, and have no idea of the way I can reproduce this...
