Bug Description

Binary package hint: desktop-effects

Summary: I tried to enable Desktop Effects once and it gave me an error message with a grammatical error in the form of a repeated word.

Ubuntu 7.04

Steps.
1. Access the Desktop Effects applet via System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects
2. Click to Enable Desktop Effects

Expected Results: The desktop effects should be enabled successfully. If it is not enabled successfully the error message should be grammatically correct.

Actual Results: There is a repeated word in the error message. It states 'Desktop effects could not be be enabled'
