Description
In the dialog 'Create a new PostGIS connection' there is a wrong tip text on the Don't resolve type of unrestricted columns (GEOMETRY) checkbox.
It shows a copy of the Only show layers in the layer registries checkbox.

in future it is helpfull if you provide the QGIS version that you find this issue.
as I see it now, this was 2.6 :-)
as there you see this, in current master (the dev version) there is NO tooltip on the Dont't.... line
not sure if we should close this one, or we should provide a better tooltip for the checkbox.
On second thought: for me it would be helpfull if the tooltip would tell me what Unrestriced columns (Geometry) means :-)
(it is not mentioned in the context help text, but... hopefully we will have this online in a later version)

It means geometry type columns that don't have a geometry type constraint - ie. can not only contain (multi)points, (multi)lines xor (multi)polygons, but any mix thereof.

What about making the (default OFF) checkbox caption:
[ ] Resolve type of unconstrained mixed GEOMETRY columns (slower)
with tooltip "QGIS can try to find GEOMETRY types in the data and show them"
