Do you consider the dialog to import settings from older browsers (IE, old
Mozilla) in Firefox to be confusing?
The part of the user-base, who will not understand, are the ones, that
didn't know about the '~/.gaim' in the first place. This group will ignore
the dialog like they do license agreement dialogs. They are not likely to
do anything about it. Especially if the action is just pressing (Ok).
