I'd always tend to think this is laziness rather than anything else, as
KDE4 has had concerted effort on converting home-brew solution to
native gettext support, and seems to go well.

And why changing everything all over GNOME is needed? Isn't all
Q_() calls end up in glib/gi18n.h, which calls g_strip_context()?
