The warning as per the patch:
Unchecking this option has the effect that potentially harmful converters
would be run without asking your permission first. This is UNSAFE and NOT
recommended, unless you know what you are doing. Are you sure you would
like to proceed ? The recommended and safe answer is NO!
There's an extra space before the question mark (?). However, I would
suggest removing "unless you know what you are doing" from the message to
make it stronger, i.e.
----
Unchecking this option has the effect that potentially harmful converters
would be run without asking your permission first. This is UNSAFE and NOT
recommended. Are you sure you would like to proceed? The recommended and
safe answer is NO!
----
And actually, I wouldn't mind making the warning even stronger:
----
Unchecking this option is UNSAFE and NOT RECOMMENDED. With this option
unchecked LyX will NOT EVEN ASK you for permission before executing
converters that might be potentially harmful to your computer system.
Please read <insert-ref-to-???> for more information.
Are you sure you would like to proceed? The recommended and safe answer is
NO!

The above would of course mean that we also need to add a section to the
user guide or something.
Hmm... could we suggest asking the users' list for advice?
