I notice that one of byobu's five template po files is an en_GB.po
that just uses exactly the same strings as the en_US default.

Some dictionaries allow for it to be intransitive, but the examples
they give are usually of the phrasal verb "launch into"...

The one kind of login it doesn't handle is graphical ones via a
display manager, so it seems odd to talk about this as a "window
manager" (especially when all the work of detachable terminal
multiplexing is being done by GNU Screen or TMUX). You don't need to
advertise Byobu's marvelousness to me now - I'm already installing it!

It's "for all users (who are) logging-in into the system". Wait, does
"all users" include root? This comes from Ubuntu where they assume I
haven't even *got* a root user... no, another case where I don't want
anything inserted in /etc/profile.d, thankyou.

In fact just running "touch ~/.byobu/disable-autolaunch" won't work
until I've got a directory "~/.byobu", will it? And for me it would
have to be "touch ~/etc/byobu/disable-autolaunch", because byobu
respects $XDG_CONFIG_HOME!

_Description: Launch Byobu at shell login for all users?
Byobu can be launched automatically on all shell logins (via the console,
SSH, etc.), to provide a screen session manager.
.
If you select this option, a symlink will be created in /etc/profile.d.
This setting is system-wide, for all user logins. Individual users can
opt out by using the utility "byobu-config" or by creating the file
"disable-autolaunch" in their byobu configuration directory.
