kde.pot is about strings being in X but not in X.po - kdelibs.po is about 
strings not in X at all. If you put the string in krita, it will appear 
translated as David said, but it will also appear in X.po. You're technically
breaking the message freeze as you create work for translators. You're
not creating a real problem though - communication can fix the rest.
_OR_ you write a little perl script that copies the string from */kdelibs.po
to */krita.po.

Greetings, Stephan
