I am glad you approve. Here is the process for coming up with it.

X. What are we talking about
Y. What type of widget or option is it
Z. What does this widget or option do.

Examples:

[ ]  Show X Logout Y Status Y Dialog

[ ] Enable X Konqueror Y Download Z Progress Bar

A bit juvenile, but the 5W's come to mind: Who, what, where, when, and 
why? We should be thinking about those 5W's when creating these options.
