Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

When hovering the mouse over the View->My Processes menu item, the status tip shows "Show user own process" when it probably should be "Show user owned processes".

Also, the Help->Report a problem menu item doesn't have a status tip.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project. This bug is valid, but it does not affect the average user.

Thanks for the patch.

"user owned" should be "user-owned" (it's a compound adjective).

To make it even clearer, use the word "only", i.e. "Show only user-owned processes", to clarify how it's different from the other two options which also show processes you own.

For bonus points, you could go further and use the actual login name, e.g. "Show only processes owned by dstansby".
