Replacing "Warning: " by nothing in r64407. Other changes included as well,
most notably decreased vertical size at expense of Location and Mapset
lists which are now as big as in 64. The whole dialog is just little bit
bigger than in 64, so with smaller banner it will be hopefully smaller. I
would prefer if it would be possible to make it smaller by dragging but it
is not (I tried several times but I cannot get it work).

I also changed the user visible strings, see commit for details but most
importantly I add numbers to the boxes to make it clear in which order you
should fill them (and that there is an order).

Please, see screenshot (40%), commit message and diff for details.
