Grammatical error in root warning message

When I use Thunar as root, it says "Warning, you are using the root account, you may harm your system."  This is grammatically incorrect.  The correct punctuation would be "Warning: you are using the root account.  You may harm your system."

Mousepad shows that warning message too.
