Bug Description
I know meta-bugs are evil, but this seemed like a freeze that might need more discussion so it seemed appropriate. The attached debdiff is for FUSA and fixes several outstanding bugs. Normally, I would say that this is too much to ask for a beta freeze exception but there are several string breaks and also strings that were previously untranslatable that are in these patches. I think that it's important to get them uploaded as soon as possible. Here is the changelog:
fast-user-
* 84_session_
* Patch from Christoph Korn to fix the translations for the titles
of the dialogs and the plural strings. (LP: #345587 and LP: #345344)
* Patch from Christoph Korn to add a configuration option for whether
the confirmation dialogs are shown. (LP: #345480)
* Clean up the confirmation configuration patch to make the labels
change dynamically as the GConf key is changed.
* Switch key on the configuration patch to make it so that it defaults
to false, which is the same as no key. This makes it so that the
default upgrade case is to have the confirmation dialogs.
* Change the logout dialogs to be standard dialogs instead of special
ones and shorten the text in them. Also make them appear on all desktops
and in the window switcher list incase they get lost.
* 90_status_
for that entry. Patch from Walter Somerville. (LP: #294731) Fixed
patch to make the invisible item above the logout item.
* 88_status_
by Ken Wimer.
* 92_autotools.patch: Update for changes above.
* Closes meta-bug for upload request: (LP: #347697)

Most of the changes are in the autotools update, which is all generated files. Also, you'll note that while big, we were able to delete more code in the session management patch than was added :)
This won't get a beta freeze exception; the translation considerations do not outweigh the practical problems with having to reroll installation media for the package update.
Will revisit in more detail once beta is out.
