just adding this as a bug since I think the comment got lost in the dev mailing list.

In the toolbar customize dialog, use "incomplete" not "uncompleted"

    Just checked, 'uncompleted' has been used as task status description for quite some time, it's not specific to the toolbar customization. To my non-native speaker's ears "incomplete" does not mean the same as "not completed"; are you sure about this ?

    incomplete means exactly the same thing as "not completed" and "uncompleted" is bad English.

    So should we also change "completed" to "complete" everywhere else ? This will invalidate a bunch of translation strings :(

    "completed" is fine, it works just about the same as "complete"

    well, "complete" is just more succinct, some people might prefer it, but they both work, so it isn't worth breaking things.
