Old wording: Use only one message _window: Never

Always Always (with Roster) Per account Per type

New wording: _Window behavior: Detached roster with detached chats

Detached roster with single chat Single window for everything Detached roster with chat grouped by account Detached roster with chat grouped by type

those strings are indeed easier to understand, but they are too long, and can be even longer in translated versions. That will make a huge preference window :/

Long but understandable. They really didn't seem too long when I tested. Unless your screen is small (say mobile phone small) then it displayed fine.
