Subject: Re: dangling clock message might be incomprehensible to a few users

I also think that interface is difficult to understand. Maybe we
should detail the texts for an easy one.
It should express the actions in words that match the user's
intention. For instance,
- account some minutes to that task
- set end time for that task
- discard that partial clocking
- do nothing and leave dangling clock

Etc.
