Yes, we had that, and 80% of the translators messed it up in the first 
round, and 40% still in the second round. (I guess if you check the 
current po files for these strings, you would immediately find ones 
which have messed this up... checking... yeah, look for "frozen:f" in 
http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk/po/da.po ...)

The point is that we obviously needed this "disambiguating prefix" 
already long ago, but there wasn't a standard solution available. Now 
(since gtk2.4 to be precise) there is a gnome-wide standard solution 
available, so we should better use that instead of yet another 
home-brewn solution.
