I'll try with "Language & Region"

Let leave with no icon for now then.

Yes, I was thinking of a control like that in each popover.
Alternatively, we could just remove a setting from the custom settings
if they are set to the default value.

Not sure. What about "Administrative Account (perform administrative
tasks)" (less jargon)

What about "MAC Spoofing (hardware addresses protection)".

What about "Network Connection (bridge, firewall, proxy of air-gap)"?

What is a mustache? What about "Desktop Camouflage (looks like another

There is no restriction, but more entropy is required for a passphrase
for an encrypted container than for an admin account.

I think your proposal is good, but I don't know hot to implement it
without creating a custom widget/css, which seems a bit overkill to me.

I'm finishing a new version of the prototype which I hope will address
most concerns (not all, but refining by email with various advices
looks quite difficult to me...)
