As discussed on the #kontact irc it'd be great if someone can you check if 
qsettings like comments in .desktop files, i.e. a line like
# ctxt: (keep-ascii-quoted) The outer ASCII quotes must be kept, they are not 
seen by the user.
so that we can add it to inform the users and also use the keyword keep-ascii-
quoted so that our automatic tools go through the messages and complain for 
those that are not correct.

So if someone can do that testing cool. If not it should go into a bug with 
all this info.

Cheers,
  Albert
