Ahah! Thanks very much. I didn't remove any of those entries  
manually, but my PO editor (LFE for OSX), although it has been  
updated to handle msgctxt, apparently isn't entirely happy with  
previous msgctxt and previous msgid. I'll contact the developer.

So every time I open desktop_kdelibs in my editor, it removes those  
previous entries: that file is showing an error again today. Now I  
know what's wrong, I can deal with it.

Is there any way I can find these errors myself? As I said, msgfmt - 
cv doesn't catch them. I don't want to run msgmerge over a completed  
and current file.
