Bad string and typos in terminal, libxfce4util and xfce-utils

Hey,


while checking the translations for xfce4-about, I noticed a somewhat
bad string (info.c line194):

    xfce_err ("%s%s", _("Unable to load "), authors_filename);

This is ugly to translate when the language has a different word order
than English, e.g. German.

Attached is a patch to fix this string.

Also, xfce4-about still lists 2007 as the last year in the copyright
notice although we have almost already 2009 :). Also reported in
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3992.


In terminal, I found a little typo in the description of the command
line option '--role'. Patch is attached.


Finally, the license texts in libxfceutil contain the old address of
the FSF. It has changed some time ago. A patch to update the address is
attached as well.


Regards,
Enrico


P.S.: please save your time telling me I should file those in bugzilla.
I won't waste my time with filing bugreports for such trivial things
and hope you will just change those things instantly as this probably
takes less time than fighting with bugzilla to open/comment/close 4
different reports. Thanks.   :)
