Still not a fan of renaming safe mode (or sending people to safe mode)

1) Safe mode is a command line switch
2) Safe mode has an entry in the start program LibreOffice menu
3) Safe mode is already existing terminology
4) User Profile doesn't match the settings in the safe mode dialog; it does
touch it.. but isn't the essence; IMHO
5) Reset to factory settings isn't the first in the list of safe-mode 
6) It's called reset to factory settings in the dialog (terminology harmony)..
7) You have tick 1/2 checkboxes
